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
