Cell Culture Even Distribution Tips

In cell experiments, have you ever encountered the situation that cells are always spread unevenly? So how to solve this problem? Don’t worry, today I will introduce some cell culture even distribution tips to you.

Possible Cause of Uneven:

• The hardware reason of the product is relatively critical. The bottom of the product itself is uneven, and no matter how well you do other operations, it is a waste of effort. So choosing the right culture vessel is very important.
• In addition to the culture vessel itself, an imbalance in the placement of the incubator can also cause cells to pool to one side.
• Insufficient addition of culture medium causes more adsorption on the edge of the liquid in the culture vessel, resulting in differences in cell distribution.
• Stacking the culture vessels too high can easily cause unintentional tilting and the cell distribution will follow.
• The shock after inoculating the cells is too strong, which will produce centrifugal effect and affect the position of the cells.
• The method of circling and mixing will cause the cells to be thinner in the middle.
• Cell density was too low when plating.
• Loading the sample too quickly The sample loading position is too concentrated, which causes the cells to aggregate in a certain place of sample loading.

Cell Culture Even Distribution Tips:

• Choose a product with a certificate of conformity produced by a regular manufacturer, and the quality of the culture vessel will be guaranteed.
• Check the balance of the incubator.
• Add enough culture medium.
• Try not to stack too much on the cell culture dish.
• Do not shake after inoculation, to avoid cells being affected by shaking, thus affecting the uniform distribution.
• Improve mixing: Try mixing with a criss-cross pattern using gentle pressure.
• Before culturing the seed plate, put it into the incubator for a period of saturation before taking it out, which can appropriately increase the cell density and provide a basis for the uniform distribution of cells.
• Gently and slowly add the sample, and operate the sample at different parts, and manually help the cells to distribute evenly.
