4. Lab 1: Aseptic Technique Aseptic technique is a combination of procedures designed to reduce the probability of infection. Contamination by microorganisms remains a major problem in tissue culture. Bacteria, mycoplasma, yeast, and fungal spores may be introduced via the operator, the atmosphere, work surfaces, solutions, and many other sources. 4By: Mahmoud El-Hindi

5. Cont. Aseptic technique Aseptic technique aims to exclude contamination by establishing a strict policy of practice and ensuring that everyone using the facility adheres to it. Contamination can be minor and confined to one or two cultures, can spread among several cultures and compromise a whole experiment, or can be widespread and wipe out your. 5By: Mahmoud El-Hindi

6. Cont. Mycoplasmal infection Mycoplasmal infection, invisible under regular microscopy, presents one of the major threats. Undetected, it can spread to other cultures around the laboratory. It is therefore essential to back up visual checks with a mycoplasma test, particularly if cell growth appears abnormal. 6By: Mahmoud El-Hindi

7. Maintaining Sterility : Correct aseptic technique Correct aseptic technique should provide a barrier between microorganisms in the environment outside the culture and the pure, uncontaminated culture within its flask or dish. All materials that come into direct contact with the culture must be sterile and its non sterile surroundings. 7By: Mahmoud El-Hindi

8. Cell culture contaminants two types: Chemicals 1-Chemicals: difficult to detect caused by endotoxins, metal ions or traces of disinfectants that are invisible. Contamination by microorganisms 2- Contamination by microorganisms remains a major problem in tissue culture. Bacteria, mycoplasma, yeast, and fungal spores may be introduced via the operator, the atmosphere, work surfaces, solutions, and many other sources. 8By: Mahmoud El-Hindi

9. Safety For best results in tissue culture, we want to work to keep microbial (bacteria, yeast and molds) contamination to a minimum. Guidelines to follow: Work in a culture hood set-aside for tissue culture purposes. Most have filtered air that blows across the surface to keep microbes from settling in the hood. Turn off the UV/antimicrobial light and turn on the hood 30 minutes prior to entering the hood. 9By: Mahmoud El-Hindi

10. Cont. Wash hands with soap and water before beginning the procedure and rewash if you touch anything that is not sterile or within the hood. Do not breathe directly into your cultures, bottles of media, etc. This also means to keep talking to a minimum. No singing or chewing gum. 10By: Mahmoud El-Hindi

11. Cont. Use only sterilized pipets, plates, flasks and bottles in the hood for procedures. Change pipettes for each manipulation. If the tip of the pipette touches something outside of the flask or bottle, replace with a new one. 11By: Mahmoud El-Hindi

20. ASEPTIC TECHNIQUE IN VERTICAL LAMINAR FLOW Clean and swab down work area, and bring bottles, pipettes, etc. Carry out preparative procedures first (preparation of media and other reagents), followed by culture work. Finally, tidy up and wipe over surface with 70% alcohol. 20By: Mahmoud El-Hindi
