How to protect your cultured cells from contamination

How to protect your cultured cells from contamination

People working in the laboratory must be protected from any security risks. Similarly, laboratory samples must also be adequately protected. Contamination of cultured cells is the most common problem in cell culture laboratories, and this situation cannot be eliminated, but good control can be achieved. The most direct reason is that if pollution occurs, it will have undesirable consequences, wasting time, money and effort, damaging precious samples/products and producing inaccurate experimental results. Most importantly, reducing the frequency and severity of this phenomenon can prevent adverse consequences that affect the health of the operator.

Follow these 12 simple and effective tips to ensure the safety of your cell culture.

1. The CO2 incubator should first be cleaned with a disinfectant or detergent, then rinsed with sterile water and then with 70% alcohol.

2. Avoid placing test-related items on contaminated surfaces.

3. Do not use chlorine disinfectant/cleaner.

4. Regularly change the water in the water tray (distilled water is recommended).

5. The water in the water tray needs to be autoclaved and cooled before it can be loaded.

6. Replace the ULPA filter at least once a year.

7. The time to open the CO2 incubator should not be too long.

8. Do not speak, laugh or cough when opening the outer door of the CO2 incubator.

9. Wear gloves to operate.

10. Keep the air clean: don't eat or smoke.

11. Wear a clean lab coat.

12. The work surface of the biosafety cabinet needs to be cleaned before and after use.
