Cell culture requires cell consumables to achieve the conditions required for cell growth. Cell culture bottles and culture dishes are the two most commonly used cell culture consumables. So what is the difference between these two consumables?
Product introduction
cell culture flask
Cell culture bottles are the most suitable culture vessels for long-term cell culture, large-scale cell expansion and contamination prevention in the laboratory. The bottle mouth is small and the cells are not easily contaminated. Cells can be processed conveniently and safely to ensure the safety of the experimental process. The bottle mouth can be optional with a sealing cap/breathable cap.
The sealing cover is often used for sealed culture to ensure its sealing, and it can be cultured in an ordinary constant temperature incubator.
Breathable covers are often used for open culture to provide sterile gas exchange and reduce the risk of contamination. They are recommended for CO2 incubator culture, especially for experiments requiring long-term culture.
cell culture dish
A cell culture dish is a small, shallow transparent culture vessel with a cover, consisting of a flat disc-shaped bottom and a cover. It is mainly used for microorganism and cell culture in biological experiments. There is a breathable ring at the mouth of the bottle.
Product differences
Culture time
Cell culture bottles are suitable for long-term culture, passage, and as seed cells. The bottle mouth is small and the cells are not easily contaminated.
Cell culture dishes are suitable for use in various experiments and temporary culture.
How to choose
The difference between the two lies in the safety factor and the number of cultured cells.
Petri dishes are better for experiments that use cells as carriers or objects, because the amount used is relatively small, saving cells, and the petri dishes are more convenient for control experiments. However, the petri dishes have larger openings and are relatively easier to contaminate, so you must be more careful when operating.
Use culture bottles for primary culture of tissue blocks or culture of cells that are easily contaminated. The grown cells can be passaged according to personal preference. The area of cell culture bottles is larger, so culture bottles can be used when a large number of cells need to be expanded.
