2010 Lab 9
Contents
Introduction
The previous laboratory introduced cell culture, cells and practical considerations. This laboratory will look at the more "hands on" techniques required to carry out tissue culture.

Practical Methods
- General Guide For Cryogenically Storing Animal Cell Cultures (Corning)
- This 10-page PDF Corning Technical Guide examines both the theoretical and practical aspects of cryogenic preservation and reviews key strategies for managing a cell repository.
