The cell culture laboratory consists of a quarantine room and a production room, both of which are biosafety level II facilities. Cells received at the facility are grown in quarantine laboratory that houses 2 Labconco Logic Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinets and 2 CO2 water-jacketed incubators. The cell lines that test negative for Mycoplasma or other contaminants are transferred to the main cell culture facility and grown for assay development and optimization. The main cell culture room has four CO2 incubators and three Labconco Purifier Logic Class II Type A2 biosafety and an Olympus CKX41 Inverted microscope.
