CELL CULTURE

FACILITY

Cell Culture Facilities are shared use laboratories that provide access to a range of equipment used for cell culture experiments. Researchers utilise equipment in the facilities to perform their own mammalian cell culture experiments.

The facility supports staff and students by maintaining the cell culture facilities and equipment. The facility also provides basic induction training and performs periodic mycoplasma testing.
