X1 Microcarrier – MARC-145 Culture for PRRSV Production
Discover how Smart MCs' X1 dissolvable microcarriers support efficient expansion of MARC-145 cells and high-level PRRSV production for scalable vaccine manufacturing.
How to Minimise Cell Clumping During Microcarrier Culture
Microcarrier culture illustrating uneven cell seeding, where cells occupy some microcarriers and become confluent and clump, while others remain sparsely populated or empty. “Why are my cells forming clumps instead of evenly coating microcarriers?” Cell clumping is one of the most frequently encountered challenges in microcarrier-based culture, particularly when working with mesenchymal [...]
How to Minimise Unwanted Cell Attachment to Non-Microcarrier Surfaces in Microcarrier Culture
“Why are my cells sticking to the vessel when I’m using microcarriers?” It’s one of the most common questions researchers ask when working with microcarrier-based cell culture, especially with highly adherent cells like mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). You’ve added microcarriers. Your cells are viable. Agitation looks reasonable. Yet after 24 hours, cells are clearly [...]
