Battling the Bugs: Mitigating Cell Culture Contamination

The Scientist is bringing together experts from industry to discuss issues with cell culture contamination on small and large scales

Event Details:Battling the Bugs: Mitigating Cell Culture ContaminationDate(s):

Ensuring cell culture sterility is essential in small and large bioprocesses. Microbial contamination from bacteria, viruses, and fungi can spread among experiments and workflows—wasting time, resources, and precious cell lines. These unwanted organisms can change the growth rate, morphology, and gene expression of cultured cells. Additionally, contaminants in biotherapeutics put patients directly at risk. Therefore, methods to prevent and remove contaminants should be a main consideration for every lab. The Scientist is bringing together experts from industry to discuss issues with cell culture contamination on small and large scales. The experts will highlight the effects of contaminants, examine prevention and mitigation strategies for unwanted microbial growth, and answer questions from webinar attendees.
