A common use of cell culture flasks is for the in vitro culture of cells and tissues. By providing a suitable environment of temperature, humidity, nutrients and gases, they are able to support cell growth and division, providing a fundamental platform for research into cell biology, disease mechanisms and drug action. In addition, its applications include the following:
Drug Screening and Testing
Cell culture flasks are widely used for drug screening and toxicity testing during drug development. By culturing human or animal cells in flasks, researchers can assess the effects of drugs on cells, thereby optimising drug design and reducing potential side effects.
Vaccine Development
Vaccine development cannot be achieved without the support of cell culture flasks. In the early stages of vaccine development, cell culture flasks are used to grow viruses or bacteria to study their properties and develop effective vaccines. For example, the production of many viral vaccines relies on cell culture techniques.
Gene and Protein Research
Cell culture flasks play an important role in gene expression and protein synthesis research. By culturing cells in vitro, scientists can delve into the function of genes, protein interactions, and cell signalling mechanisms.
Toxicology and Environmental Assessment
Cell culture flasks are also used to assess the effects of chemicals and environmental factors on cells. By culturing human or animal cells, researchers can quickly test the toxicity of chemicals and provide a scientific basis for environmental protection and public health.
Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering
In the field of stem cell research and tissue engineering, cell culture flasks are used for the expansion and differentiation of stem cells and the construction of artificial tissues. These studies offer new possibilities for regenerative medicine and disease treatment.
Whether for basic research or clinical applications, cell culture flasks play a key role in driving scientific progress and medical innovation. Choosing high-quality cell culture flasks will bring your experimental research a higher success rate and more reliable results.
The FAI climbed 5.9 percent year-on-year in the first 11 months of 2018, quickening from the 5.7-percent growth in Jan-Oct, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said Friday in an online statement.
The key indicator of investment, dubbed a major growth driver, hit the bottom in August and has since started to rebound steadily.
In the face of emerging economic challenges home and abroad, China has stepped up efforts to stabilize investment, in particular rolling out measures to motivate private investors and channel funds into infrastructure.
Friday's data showed private investment, accounting for more than 60 percent of the total FAI, expanded by a brisk 8.7 percent.
NBS spokesperson Mao Shengyong said funds into weak economic links registered rapid increases as investment in environmental protection and agriculture jumped 42 percent and 12.5 percent respectively, much faster than the average.
In breakdown, investment in high-tech and equipment manufacturing remained vigorous with 16.1-percent and 11.6-percent increases respectively in the first 11 months. Infrastructure investment gained 3.7 percent, staying flat. Investment in property development rose 9.7 percent, also unchanged.
