A small sized autoclave bag can hold up to 15 litres of waste. 😳

This is equivalent to

–         1 x passaging a small number of cell culture flasks

–         or changing the medium of 3 – 4 medium sized cell culture bottles.

Anyone, who has ever worked at a sterile workbench knows how quickly the autoclave bin fills up ↗️. Cell cultures around the world produce incredible amounts of plastic waste every day. 🌍🗑️

When an experiment is successful, we take the amount of waste into account, because it serves a […]

When cells, especially primary cells, are seeded at very low densities, they can die. 😐 Why? Because cells are social creatures and need others to form a community called tissue.

The same applies to medium changes. If these are done too frequently, cells believe that no one else is there, as signals from other cells are washed away before they reach their destination – other cells.

At very low cell densities, dividing would be wasteful, so cells do not divide, or sometimes even die.

Not only good for science, but also fun, when technical skills are taken to the next level! 🔬🚀

As always, this lablife bootcamp again made it clear that watching lablife.video tutorials before a workshop proves highly effective in bringing everyone to the same level of knowledge, making the overall level of the bootcamp impressively high – you could also call it a standardized training experience 👍😁 !

This was another confirmation that […]

The life sciences – fascinating and mind-blowing on the one hand 🦑🌸🪱, but also marked by crises on the other, such as the reproducibility crisis 😮, the pressure to publish 😮 (which automatically leads to a reduction in research quality), the growing public scepticism towards science 😮… the list goes on.

But another lecture at Hochschule Campus Wien | Department Gesundheitswissenschaften showed us how much the next generation really cares. Their focus, their interest, […]

2 billion to 600 million years ago 🌋☄️, an ancient bacterium entered a pre-eukaryote and changed world affairs like almost no other event 📈. Whether that entering was a voluntary step, or if that bacterium was simply gulped down, we can’t tell for sure.

What we know for sure is that a paradigm shift happened, and instead of being digested (or the pre-eukaryote being “infected” for that matter) that bacterium made itself at home in that cell. Both, the pre-eukaryote and the ancient […]
