Aseptic Technique and Good Cell Culture Practice
28 June, 2008
Aseptic Technique and Good Cell Culture Practice

Aim To ensure all cell culture procedures are performed to a standard that will prevent contamination from bacteria, fungi and mycoplasma and cross contamination with other cell lines.

Materials

  • Chloros / Presept solution (2.5g/l)
  • 1% formaldehyde based disinfectant e.g.Virkon,Tegador
  • 70% ethanol in water (Prod. No. R8382)

Equipment

  • Personal protective equipment (sterile gloves, laboratory coat, safety visor)
  • Microbiological safety cabinet at appropriate containment level
  • Cell Culture Plates(6 well plate, 24 well plate, 96 well plate)

Procedure

  1. Sanitize the cabinet using 70% ethanol before commencing work.
  2. Sanitize gloves by washing them in 70% ethanol and allowing to air dry for 30 seconds before commencing work.
  3. Put all materials and equipment into the cabinet prior to starting work after sanitizing the exterior surfaces with 70% ethanol.
  4. Whilst working do not contaminate gloves by touching anything outside the cabinet (especially face and hair). If gloves become contaminated re-sanitize with 70% ethanol as above before proceeding.
  5. Discard gloves after handling contaminated cultures and at the end of all cell culture procedures.
  6. Equipment in the cabinet or that which will be taken into the cabinet during cell culture procedures (media bottles, pipette tip boxes, pipette aids, cell culture plates) should be wiped with tissue soaked with 70% ethanol prior to use.
  7. Movement within and immediately outside the cabinet must not be rapid. Slow movement will allow the air within the cabinet to circulate properly.
  8. Speech, sneezing and coughing must be directed away from the cabinet so as not to disrupt the airflow.
  9. After completing work disinfect all equipment and material before removing from the cabinet. Spray the work surfaces inside the cabinet with 70% ethanol and wipe dry with tissue. Dispose of tissue by autoclaving.
  10. Cell culture discard in chloros (10,000) ppm must be kept in the cabinet for a minimum of two hours (preferably overnight) prior to discarding down the sink with copious amounts of water.
  11. Periodically clean the cabinet surfaces with a disinfectant such as Presept,Tegador or Virkon or fumigate the cabinet according to the manufacturers instructions. However you must ensure that it is safe to fumigate your own laboratory environment due to the generation of gaseous formaldehyde, consult your on-site Health and Safety Advisor.

Cisco Newbie - Start on the CCNA
27 June, 2008

Want to start getting into routers etc so looking at doing some cisco stuff? Think you need to start on the CCNA? but dont really know where or know of any real books that can teach you this from scratch? Here is a guideline for the Cisco newbies to start on the CCNA.

Q: Looking at doing some cisco stuff?

A: Cisco's Career Certifications & Paths information can be found here. Cisco also has a CCNA Prep Center -- it might impress you, or it might scare you away -- but worth a look to get an idea of what Cisco makes available.

Only one comment on the prepCenter. When watching the flash, dont take their word when they say that linux is an operating system. One who says that linux is an OS, states that his knowledge of operating systems converging to zero (especially linux based).

Q: Don't really know where or know of any real books that can teach you this from scratch.

A: The books you'll hear the most about around here are:
Sybex - Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide -- by Todd Lammle. Should be on the 5th edition. Great for learning subnetting. Missing some info, but there are one or two new update chapters available for download.
Cisco Press - The CCNA 640-802 books by Wendell Odom. Probably the CCNA Official Exam Certification Library.
You can check out all the Cisco Press Books (and the link to the simulator) at the Cisco Press Web site.
Hands-on practice is important.... but you can get by with the simulator for the CCNA.

Q: Are the exams expensive?

A: The CCNA 640-802 exam is $125.
There is also the 2 exam option (INTRO and ICND). There should be link at the CCNP Prep Center that explains it. I think those are $100 each.

Certay is the online Certification Expert, which provide testking and pass4sure the real questions and correct answers since 2001

That should be enough links to keep you busy for the rest of the night.

Helpful Information for Cisco Exam 350-001
24 June, 2008

This article provides helpful information for you to prepare for Cisco exam 350-001, the CCIE Written exam. The CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) certification has historically been the most valued in the area of networking. There are two steps to achieve this valued certification:

  • A 100 question written test, which this Cramsession will help to prepare you for
  • And an intense lab exam, which will test the limits of your technical knowledge

I've compiled a list of study suggestions for 350-001 that you might find useful:

  • Print out a copy of the exam 350-001 blueprint from the Cisco website. Use this as the basis of your notes, and don't consider yourself ready for the exam until you are completely comfortable with ALL the topics on the list. The blueprint changes occasionally, but the current version can be found at: Written Exam Blueprint v3.0
  • Buy a few books. This seems simple enough, but I've found there are two types of books lists for the CCIE - those for the lab and those for the written. They're not the same. For our purposes here, there are two things we want to accomplish with our reading: to quickly get the written out of the way to start the long road to the lab; and to try as much as possible to conserve money and time by finding and reading materials that are applicable to both.
  • Download sample exams. There are several available, but regardless of which vendor's questions you choose, take advantage of a significant pool of questions, and select products by different authors. The subject matter for this exam is broad, and you want a good selection of material to study from.

How to Wear Bracelets with Style
20 June, 2008

Bracelets can enhance an outfit as well as a nicely manicured hand. They're particularly attractive in the summer when you have a sun kissed skin tone which can play up the look of a simple gold bracelet on the wrist. Bracelets are immensely versatile and can give your wardrobe a huge style boost. At my suggestion, Tiffany Bracelet is not a bad choice.

Here's how to wear bracelets with style and panache.

Enhance The Colors Of Your Outfit.

Colored bracelets, particularly lucite ones, are hot for Spring 2008. You'll find them in a brilliant array of colors to complement the bold, graphic color designs being shown for spring. Buy a top in some of the new flattering spring colors along with several lucite bracelets in matching shades. Wear two or three colored lucite bracelets with your top and you'll be right in style for spring.

Show Off Sun Kissed Skin.

Nothing shows off skin gently darkened by the sun (or self tanner if you want to avoid sun damage) than gold bracelets. Keep it simple by playing up your tan with a 14K gold cuff bracelet or one of two gold bangle bracelets. You can even add a delicate, gold ankle bracelet to your ankle when you head out the door in your shorts or casual skirt.

Play Up Your Manicure.

If you just got a manicure and are anxious to show off your hands, choose a colorful bracelet that complements your nail polish or stick with one or two gold or silver bangles to highlight your hands and perfectly shaped nails. After you've spent all that time and money on a manicure, you need to make sure people notice your freshly buffed hands.

Wear A Functional Bracelet.

If you want a bracelet that's more than a bracelet, buy a bangle watch that will not only show off your hands and wrists but will keep you aware of the time. You can find bangle watches at all price levels from high end gold and silver designer bangle watches to fun, casual ones you can wear every day. It's a great alternative to a boring wristwatch.

Make Your Own.

It's super easy to make your own bracelets. Buy stretch cord from your local craft or bead store. Head to a bead store and choose from a colorful array of beads to slide onto the cord. Once you've added your beads, tie two square knots and secure with a drop of Krazy glue to give added strength. Your bracelet is now ready to wear. Watch out! This can become addictive. You'll want a stretch bracelet for every outfit.

Sliver bracelets are suitable for all ages, you can choose the most suitable one from Tiffany Bracelets to show your own style.

How to Buy and Care for Tiffany Silver Jewelry
18 June, 2008

Silver has been used to make jewelry since ancient times, but the exploration of continents in the western hemisphere uncovered more productive silver mines than Europeans had ever seen. More silver has been mined and used since the late 1700's than in all prior centuries combined.

Receiving a gift from Tiffany's is delightful for almost any red-blooded American woman (or gentleman)--a piece of jewelry becomes somewhat of a status symbol when tucked into one of those famous light blue boxes! Even if we deny that status matters, most of us (of at least a certain age) enjoyed watching Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in the film, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (ca. 1961). Tiffany's (like Audrey Hepburn) is associated with glamour and Americans have been forever fascinated with the glamorous.

Storing Tiffany Sterling Silver Jewelry

Store your Tiffany sterling silver jewelry in tarnish prevention cloths or bags . The treated cloth slows down the tarnishing process and keeps the tiffany jewelry from rubbing against harder jewelry that can scratch it. Try to to keep your tiffany pedants in a cool, dry place.

Cleaning Your Tiffany Silver Jewelry

Clean Tiffany Pendant with a phosphate free detergent. A low abrasive cleaner, such as 3M Tarni-Shield Silver Polish, is a good choice for removing light tarnish. Some people use toothpaste to clean their tiffany pendants, but most silver pendants experts caution against it because they feel toothpaste is too abrasive and leaves dulling scratches.

Tiffanymall.us is a wonderful place of tiffany on sale, they provide the best Tiffany & Co silver jewelry products and service to customers at the lowest prices possible. You will be sure to find a suitable one for you.

My Tiffany Rings
17 June, 2008

In my mind,rings symbolize unity, love, faithfulness, devotion, and much more. Behind every couple's wedding rings are stories of how they got engaged, wedding memories and unique ideas.

Browse the stunning range of silver rings, you will find the perfect piece of silver jewellery from Tiffany Jewelry. From basics to classics, a unique Tiffany Ring is the perfect gift for that special someone in our life. So, all the fahsion design Rings are very hot sale.

I have a thing for rings. Besides my silver hoop earrings, I think that my next best jewelry investment is my 1837 Tiffany ring. I've had it for around 3 years now and I wear it everyday. It is one of those pretty accessories that matches anything and is perfect for all occasions. It is simple, clean cut and not too overtly Tiffany's (unless you look at it this closely). I love it so much, I even paid $10 to get it cleaned. Unfortunately for me even after the cleaning it didn't look like new. I guess all that banging and clanging from daily wear has finally taken its toll.

So just as a fun exercise, I thought I'd look at more Tiffany rings. They do make great presents. For a more elegant and delicate design, I am loving these two : open heart & closed heart. Though as girly a girl as my girlfriend is, even she find the heart a little bit too girly for daily use (hmm maybe unless it meant something....). The closed heart is more versatile since it really looks more like a oddly shaped bean than a heart.

Even simpler, there is the Cushion (open heart) and the Torque (closed heart). There is no question the versatility here. The Cushion is a little too simple for me (if I'm going to spend that kind of money, I'd like something with a bit more design and effort). I love the twisted design of the Torque, though I do wonder about how comfortable it is with all the odd angles.

So yes, these are my just some of thoughts on Tiffany silver rings. And the best thing about these choices in my opinion is that they are not the typical Tiffany designs. We have enough of those floating around as it is.

Tiffany Mall is cheap tiffany jewelry online store. They have added about 200 Tiffany Jewelry to the site for the customers and provide the best products (sunch as tiffany earringstiffany accessories) and service to the customers at the lowest prices possible.

Resuscitation of Frozen Cell Lines
13 June, 2008

Many cultures obtained from a culture collection, such as ECACC, will arrive frozen and in order to use them the cells must be thawed and put into culture. It is vital to thaw cells correctly in order to maintain the viability of the culture and enable the culture to recover more quickly. Some cryoprotectants, such as DMSO, are toxic above 4oC therefore it is essential that cultures are thawed quickly and diluted in culture medium to minimize the toxic effects.

A schematic diagram of "Resuscitation of Frozen Cell Lines"

Materials

  • Media– pre-warmed to the appropriate temperature (refer to the ECACC Cell Line Data Sheet for the correct medium and size of flask to resuscitation into.)
  • 70% ethanol in water
  • DMSO

Equipment

  • Personal protective equipment (sterile gloves, Laboratory coat, safety visor)
  • Waterbath set to appropriate temperature
  • Glass Bottom Dishes
  • Microbiological safety cabinet at appropriate containment level
  • CO2 incubator
  • Pre labeled flasks
  • Marker Pen
  • Pipettes
  • ELISA plates
  • Ampule Rack
  • Tissue

Procedure

  1. Read Technical data sheet to establish specific requirements for your cell line.
  2. Prepare the flasks as appropriate (information on technical data sheet). Label with cell line name, passage number and date.
  3. Collect ampule of cells from liquid nitrogen storage wearing appropriate protective equipment and transfer to laboratory in a sealed container.
  4. Still wearing protective clothing, remove ampule from container and place in a waterbath at an appropriate temperature for your cell line e.g. 37oC for mammalian cells. Submerge only the lower half of the ampule. Allow to thaw until a small amount of ice remains in the vial - usually 1-2 minutes. Transfer to class II safety cabinet.
  5. Wipe the outside of the ampule with a tissue moistened (not excessively) with 70% alcohol hold tissue over ampule to loosen lid.
  6. Slowly, dropwise, pipette cells into pre-warmed growth medium to dilute out the DMSO (cell culture flasks prepared in Step 2).
  7. Incubate at the appropriate temperature for species and appropriate concentration of CO2 in atmosphere.
  8. Examine cells microscopically (phase contrast) after 24 hours and sub-culture as necessary.

Key Points

  1. Most text books recommend washing the thawed cells in media to remove the cryoprotectant. This is only necessary if the cryoprotectant is known to have an adverse effect on the cells. In such cases the cells should be washed in media before being added to their final culture flasks. See Protocol 7 for further details.
  2. Do not use an incubator to thaw cell cultures since the rate of thawing achieved is too slow resulting in a loss of viability.
  3. If a CO2 incubator is not available gas the flasks for 1-2 minutes with 5% CO2 in 95% air filtered through a 0.25m filter.
  4. For some cultures it is necessary to subculture before confluence is reached in order to maintain their characteristics e.g. the contact inhibition of NIH 3T3 (Prod. No. 93061524) cells is lost if they are allowed to reach confluence repeatedly.

Multiwell Cell Culture Plate Features
11 June, 2008

An improved surface treatment of the growth zone ensures constant results. Such details have always been favourites with biousing customers. The small bracket on the bottom assures no scraping when the plate is moving on the microscope. The smoothness of biousing cell culture plates is better than most best-selling brands. The absolutely flat floor area, free from inclusions, guarantees the highest level of transparency.

Millipore has introduced a new 24 well cell culture plate which has twice the membrane surface area compared with other 24 well plates, allowing researchers to utilize greater cell mass, which more closely models cell behaviour.

The 24-well Millicell cell culture plates are automation compatible and reduce the risk of monolayer contamination with "footed" membrane plates that remain elevated when disassembled from the feeder tray, and raised-well edges for better tape seating.

In addition, teardrop-shaped receiver wells are designed to eliminate air bubbles as the plates are assembled.

Millipore has also launched a new range of hanging single-well cell culture inserts. These Millicell inserts are available in 6, 24 and 96-well sizes.

Low throughput assays can be performed in the single-well unit and design features include an off-centre insert for easier media addition and removal. Standing inserts also are available.

The new cell culture plate and inserts incorporate track-etched thin film membranes for monolayer formation, microscopically transparent membranes for easy cell visualisation and fluorescent-compatible plastics and membranes.

Both products are designed to support suspension and adherent cell growth and differentiation, and can be used in a variety of cell culture assays and laboratory environments.

biousing’s multiwell cell culture plates (6 Well Cell Culture Plate, 24 Well Cell Culture Plate and 96 well cell culture plates, 96 Well ELISA Plate) are made of crystal polystyrene, conforming to the SBS-3d-standard. The material was deliberately selected to make sure the surface treatment is uniform and long-lasting. The mirror surface is polished by professional machines, which assures high-quality transparency under microscope. Low-evaporation lids ensure the constant concentration of substance in the media and guarantee a controlled gas exchange during a long-time incubation.

Cell Culture Guidelines
06 June, 2008

Cell culture is an invaluable tool for investigators in numerous fields. It facilitates analysis of biological properties and processes that are not readily accessible at the level of the intact organism. Successful maintenance of cells in culture, whether primary or immortalized, requires knowledge and practice of a few essential techniques.

The purpose of these words are guidelines for cell culture.

At first,you should make sure several questions below

Several factors should be considered before a cell line is put into culture

  • Are the cells coming from established, well-defined lines?
  • Are the nutrient and CO2 requirements known?
  • Are the growth patterns known?
  • Is the species known?
  • Has mycoplasma testing been done?

After consideration of all the above, thoughtful planning should be given to other factors

  • Will the cells be cultured in cell culture dishes, plates, flasks, bioreactors, etc.
  • Who will do the tissue culture?
  • Who will prepare, test and maintain stocks of media, regents and supplies?
  • What volume/number of cells will be required?

The following are general guidelines for culturing cells

If hybridoma cells are received in a cell culture flask (or cell culture dish), information regarding the optimal type of transfer should be available. Once cells can be maintained in one type of culturing vessel, it should be easy to adapt them to other cultureware.

If tumor cells are received it is necessary to know if they are of fibrosarcoma or lymphoma origin. Fibrosarcoma cells will generally be adherent to plastic and require the use of trypsin or EDTA to remove them. Tumor cells also usually require less fetal calf serum in their media.

If cells are received frozen, in an ampule or cryovial, they should be washed free of DMSO prior to culturing.

Establish a routine for the passage/transfer of the cells based on the rate at which they form a monolayer. For example, culture the cells in 2 wells of a 24-well plate. On Monday, cell should be resuspended gently with a pasteur pipet or 1mL pipet and enough cells transferred, dropwise, into duplicate wells of fresh, warmed media so that 4 days later, a monolayer is again observed and the transfer is repeated. It may be useful to determine the cell concentration at various days in culture in order to make projections and appropriate expansions.

If cells require the addition of growth factors, dilutions must be made carefully and good tissue culture technique maintained.

Some cells can easily be adapted to various kinds of media. Adaptation should take place overtime, with adequate post-adaptation analysis of proliferation, secretion, function, etc. During the period of adaptation the original culture should be maintained

Successful culturing of cells requires frequent monitoring of growth, media color, contamination, etc. The greater the familiarity with a cell line, the greater the expectation for a problem-free culture.

You should be careful when using the cell culture dishes(35mm Cell Culture Dishes, 60mm Cell Culture Dishes, 100mm Cell Culture Dishes).
