All About CHO – A discussion on everything from the basics to troubleshooting

While CHO cells are a popular choice for biopharmaceutical manufacturing, they can still present a challenge to work with. With so many cell culture scientists regularly searching for ways to improve on product yield, product quality, cost, and a myriad of other manufacturing challenges faced with biopharmaceutical manufacturing, we felt that CHO cell production was a great topic to pursue. Question topics included: Why CHO cells are so popular in biomanufacturing Different types of CHO cells CHO genome sequence Shipping requirements Lactic acid build up in culture Check out the article here: http://cellculturedish.com/2013/06/all-about-cho-a-discussion-on-everything-from-the-basics-to-troubleshooting/

New and Improved Cultureware is Designed with the Scientist in Mind

In the past cultureware has mostly been focused on culturing standard cell lines that have historically been easy to culture. However, with the explosion of stem cell culture and the now common practice of culturing many different cell types, cultureware has needed to evolve as well. See how Techno Plastic Products (TPP) have innovated their products for these changes. http://cellculturedish.com/2013/07/new-and-improved-cultureware-is-designed-with-the-scientist-in-mind/

Many of the common cell types we use are robust and grow on cell culture treated plastic.  However there are many cell types that have difficulty attaching and/or spreading on cell culture treated plastic.  In other cases, cells may attach but not differentiate unless the attachment surface correct.  To learn more about matrices or if you are using them and have questions, this Ask The Expert topic is your chance to learn more about attachment surfaces and the rationale for using them.

In the past cultureware has mostly been focused on culturing standard cell lines that have historically been easy to culture. However, with the explosion of stem cell culture and the now common practice of culturing many different cell types, cultureware has needed to evolve as well. Over the years, improvements have been developed to increase the success of cultureware and to provide a more hospitable cell-growing environment, including innovations like gas-plasma treatment and biological extracellular matrices. Yet there is still opportunity to improve cultureware and address some of the most common challenges cell culture scientists face.
