Cell Culture & Transfection Learning Center
Learn about cell culture and transfection methods and technologies
Cell culture and transfection are foundational techniques for life scientists, translational researchers, drug discovery and pre-clinical testing facilities, bioproduction, biobanking, and biorepository centers, and many other academic and applied efforts. Understanding (and effectively utilizing) the various cell lines, media and supplement systems, transfection techniques, incubators and biological safety cabinets, cultureware, and cryopreservation techniques can mean the difference between success and failure.
The purpose of this learning center is to connect scientists (whether new or experienced) to our many resources for learning about cell culture and transfection methods and techniques to help ensure your success every time you step into the lab.

Cell culture information
Cell culture is viewed as one of those enigmatic techniques by some researchers. There are so many parameters to consider: which cells to use, what media and supplements are appropriate, how often to feed, how to deal with contamination, etc. We've put together a collection of resources that we hope will give you the confidence to get started and to continuously improve your skills in the cell culture room.
Transfection information
Whether for protein expression, gene expression modulation, or genome editing, efficient, effective transfection relies on an optimal match between the cultured cells, the transfection reagent or equipment, and post-transfection care and maintenance. Get the information you need to get the results you're aiming for.
3D cell culture and analysis products, protocols, and methods
Connect to our many resources for information about culture and analysis of 3D models, including effective protocols, methods, and techniques to help ensure your success in 3D cell culture, organoids, and spheroids projects.
Recombinant proteins information
Many advanced cell culture models rely on bioactive recombinant proteins to achieve the desired phenotype(s). Learn what recombinant proteins are, how they can be used, and how to handle them so you’re set up for success.
Cryopreservation information
Preparation is key. Improper cryogenic preservation can have disastrous outcomes, leading to poor (or no!) cell recovery and project setbacks. Review information on cryopreservation and cold storage best practices before you freeze your first vial.
Cell culture equipment information
Biosafety cabinets, CO2 incubators, centrifuges, orbital shakers, media filters, and lab cultureware...there's a lot to understand to keep your cultures healthy, thriving, and contamination-free. Use our collection of resources on cell culture equipment to boost your effectiveness with all of the tasks of cell culture.
