βWe had to trash everything and start from scratch!β π©
A sentence, we hear far too often in cell culture labs. π
Itβs neither bad luck nor bad fate, oftentimes it is simply πbad practice. Most contaminations β even if they are not recurrent β are the result of bad practice or a lack of knowledge. π€·π»ββοΈ
β inappropriate pipetting techniques
β shared equipment and reagents
β cross-facility equipment use
β insufficient laboratory training
all contribute to the occurrence of contaminations.
At some point, we need to π stop debating the time and cost of training and π start calculating the cost of not training. ππβοΈ
