Laboratory rollers mainly used in incubators for Monolayer and Suspension Cell Cultures. These rollers provide a gentle and continuous motion that allows for the optimal growth and proliferation of cells in bottles.
Suspension Cell Cultures:
Suspension cell cultures are grown in a liquid culture medium and require gentle agitation to keep the cells in suspension. Laboratory rollers used for Suspension Cell Cultures typically consist of two or more rollers that rotate in opposite directions. The rollers are covered with a silicone or rubber material, which creates a gentle and consistent motion. The motion of the rollers ensures that the cells remain in suspension and do not settle to the bottom of the culture vessel. The rollers also prevent the formation of clumps or aggregates of cells, which can interfere with the growth and proliferation of the cells.
Benefits of Laboratory Rollers:
Uniform Growth: The gentle and consistent motion of the rollers ensures that the cells receive uniform nutrients and oxygen throughout the culture period, resulting in uniform growth and proliferation.
Cost-effective: Laboratory rollers are cost-effective compared to other methods of cell culture, such as shakers and stirrers.
Easy to Use: Laboratory rollers are easy to use and do not require any special skills or training.
Reduced Contamination: Laboratory rollers provide a closed environment that reduces the risk of contamination from outside sources.
