Title: Contamination Screening by Observation
Course: BTEC-2030-301-302-303-F21 > Section: Cell Culture

We will be using two different types of contamination screening: visual observation and PCR. With visual observation, we simply take some of the old growth media, transfer it to a bacterial growth media, and grow that overnight. If there is any bacterial or fungal growth it will be easily identified from the overnight culture.

Learning Objectives:

- 1.8 - Screen cultured cells for contamination through visual observation and PCR.
