In an ideal world mammalian cell culture should be conducted in clean rooms in order to fully control the environment, however the reality is that that is just not possible. Instead cell culture facilities are typically set up in whatever room is available, where often space is limited so considerations for traffic flow or environmental control is done to the best of abilities. While biological safety units can protect the […]
