Introduction to Cell Factory Accessories

Cell factories are large-scale cell culture containers with a multi-layer structure, commonly used for adherent cell culture.

Cell factories are large-scale cell culture containers with a multi-layer structure, commonly used for adherent cell culture. To facilitate operation, these culture tools are equipped with various accessories. Here are some common ones:

Sealing Cap: This cap has no ventilation holes and is mainly used in environments without carbon dioxide, such as incubators and greenhouses. Its function is to seal the container opening, preventing bacteria, dust, and other contaminants from entering the cell culture environment.

Vent Cap: This cap features ventilation holes and is mainly used in carbon dioxide-rich environments. The ventilation holes allow carbon dioxide from the environment to enter the cell factory, maintaining the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in the cell culture environment.

Tubing: Used for connecting various parts, tubing ensures the flow and transfer of culture media and other reagents. It is usually made from materials like silicone or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), offering flexibility, durability, and non-toxicity.

Tubing Clamps: These are clamps used to secure the tubing, preventing it from falling off or moving and ensuring the stability of the piping system.

Tubing Connectors: These are crucial components for connecting tubing to other equipment. They are typically made of metal or plastic and come in various interface types and sizes to meet different connection needs. Common types include Y-shaped and T-shaped connectors.

Small Port Adapters: These adapters fit small-mouth cell factories or medium port conversion caps, connecting tubing for pipeline operations.

Conversion Caps: These generally include medium port conversion caps and small port conversion caps, used for connecting tubing.

Air Filters: These improve air conditions and control the inflow speed of liquids.

These are the common accessories for Cell factories. These accessories are suitable for different cultivation environments, and their selection should be based on the specific requirements of the experiment.
