After successful completion of the course, students are able to work independently in a cell culture lab. They have mastered aseptic techniques as well as basic cell culture techniques such as cell passaging, cryopreservation and cell counting.

This course provides an introduction to mammalian cell culture, covering topics such as laboratory setup, aseptic techniques and safety aspects. Students will perform the following techniques on both adherent and suspension cell lines:  passaging and feeding of cells, microscopic evaluation of confluence and morphology, and cell counting. Further, students will perform metabolic activity assays.

The contents of the laboratory course are conveyed by a working instruction and the exercises described therein. An instructor will show and supervise small groups of students.

The cell culture practical course will take place on June 13 and 14. 

 Course times are 9:00 - 16:00, with a lunch break in between. Friday you will likely finish earlier.

I will send out an Email with details next week. The course assessment will be immanent; your participation will be assessed and there will be small tasks.

If you cannot participate, please deregister so that we have an overview of how many participants to expect.

There will also be another course in December or January.
