Carrel (surgeon, 1923) Aseptic techniques Carrel Flask 50-s Chemically defined media (Eagle, Earle) Consistency Sterilization Reduced chance of contamination Growth of Animal Cells in Culture • In vitro cell culture systems enable scientists to: – study cell growth and differentiation – perform genetic manipulations to understand gene structure and function. • Culture media contains: – Serum – Salts – Glucose – Various amino acids and vitamins that the cells do not make for themselves.
