Hello all, I am looking into ways of growing cell cultures in a classroom / science centre environment as part of a workshop. Ideally the cells grown would be animal cells rather than plant cells. There are obvious problems involved including: a) sourcing the original tissue (either human or animal) and b) contamination with bacteria. I was wondering if anybody had found a way of growing cell cultures outside a laboratory? Thanks in advance, Katie ________________________________________________________________________ Katie Chambers Content and Audience Researcher Centre of the Cell 64 Turner Street London E1 2AB Wk +44 (0)20 7882 2564 Mb +44 (0)7734 511 926 www.centreofthecell.org This email and any attachments are confidential and may be the subject of legal privilege.
