Culture of Replicate Monolayers of Fibroblasts under Identical Conditions

Abstract

IN cell culture investigations, the degree of ‘conditioning’ of the medium during growth is frequently of crucial importance1,2. With the usual techniques of monolayer cell culture which use multiple Petri dishes, Leighton tubes, French square and prescription bottles, etc., small variations in pH, temperature, cell inoculum size, degree of attachment and growth of cells, volume of medium delivered, degree of evaporation of medium, etc., are compounded so that the degree of ‘conditioning’ frequently varies from preparation to preparation.
