Overview

The Central Cell Services Core is comprised of three areas:  1) a Cell Services Lab, 2) a Media Preparation Lab, and 3) a Glasswash Facility.

The Cell and Media Core provides services related to cell culture, preparation of cell media and solutions, and glassware washing and sterilization. The facility strives to provide services that are efficient, convenient, and cost effective to investigators. The core can provide researchers with large quantities of monolayer and suspension cells, and has facilities for specialized cell culture such as spinner and roller bottle culture, insect cell culture, and EBV transformations. The core also has a mycoplasma and quarantine facility and offers mycoplasma testing on a regular basis.

The media production lab is a convenient and economical service with outstanding quality control. The core can also accommodate custom media orders.

The glasswash facility handles washing and sterilization of all types of glassware for all the labs in the LRI. The facility maintains a stock of all types of sterile laboratory glassware and pipettes in a common storage area. Custom autoclaving needs can be easily accommodated.
