Biomedical and clinical research would be inconceivable without progress in cell culture. This tool has become inevitably crucial in life sciences and has evolved much since the early 20th century, with its application in primary cell culture, 3D culture, tissue engineering, 3D bioprinting, and regenerative therapies. As a cell culture researcher, you must have enough...

2D vs 3D Cell Cultures – What’s The Difference?
In the field of biomedical research, 2D cell cultures have extensively been used since the early 1900s but in recent times, the technology of 3D cell culture has boomed. The tussle of 2D vs 3D cell culture has received much interest from biomedical researchers and other science geeks. In this article, let us explore more...
Importance Of Basal Media And Supplements In Primary Cell Culture
The task of choosing cell culture media for use with your primary cells is surely daunting. Therefore, if you are thinking of replicating a formulation of media from any previously published report or if you are optimizing your nutrient or classical media, it is important to understand the consequences of this media choice for your...
How To Overcome The Challenges In Cryopreservation?
Cryopreservation has become one of the major steps to focus on enhancing commercial and clinical cellular experiment-based cell culture process. Non-optimized substandard protocols and reagents used in cell culture can lead to damage of cells and lower cell viability. Besides that, the lack of optimized protocols in cell culture practice might also lead to decreased...
Simple Lab Tips For Primary Cell Culture
Primary cell culture is an expanding technology for several biomedical applications like tissue culture, 3D Cell Culture, bioscaffolds, 3D bioprinting, organoid culture etc. Researchers have been utilizing this technology as an efficient ethical alternative to animal experiments and as a physiologically in vivo-mimicking alternative to culturing continuous cell lines. We, at Kosheeka, believe that cell...
Common Errors And Tech Tips For Primary Cell Culture
If you are a cell culture researcher working with primary cell culture, the most difficult thing to accept is watching your cell dishes and flasks getting contaminated or not proliferating even with appropriate incubation at the correct media pH and temperature conditions. Watching those adherent cells not attached to the flask surface and knowing that...
Primary Cell Culture Cryopreservation: Q&A with Dr. Sachin Kadam
Cryopreservation is an essential cell culture maintenance activity in biomedical labs to preserve cells for future use. There are various aspects of cryopreservation which need to be learnt and properly performed so as to obtain a good viable population of cells after thawing, in case a culture follows. Keeping these things in mind, we had...
Antibiotics In Cell Culture: Why To Avoid?
Antibiotics have been a routinely used component in cell cultures to prevent the growth of bacteria but several researchers doing primary cell culture have showed their interest in avoiding them for several reasons in order to save their cultures and help the cells grow happy! Researchers unanimously agree on the saying, “With good lab practice,...
Fresh Or Frozen Primary Cells For Culture: What To Procure?
At the time of procuring new primary cells to start cell culture for research purposes, the decision of procuring fresh cells or frozen primary cells (cryopreserved cells) may not be a simple task. There are many factors that goes on to influence the decision, based oncell maintenance, cell type, cell functionality, and logistics. To help...
Animal Cell Culture Trends in Biomedical Research
Cell culture started in the 1800s and with time, the trend of exploring new domains of cell culture technology to excel in biomedical and clinical research has been expanding into newer domains. Although 2020 has majorly focused the utilization of animal cell culture in COVID-19 diagnosis and drug development research besides playing an essential role...
