Question

Difference between tiasue culture treated flusks and culture vessels

Answer 1

Answer:

1. "Non-tissue culture treated" surface is more hydrophobic than "tissue-culture treated" surface and is similar to the surface of a bacteriological Petri dish.

2. "Tissue-culture treated" is for cell culture of anchorage-dependent cells and "non-treated" is for suspension cell culture applications, such as mammalian cells that grow in suspension and bacterial cell culture where attachment is not required.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Cell culture-treated" usually refers to the process by which otherwise hydrophobic polystyrene surfaces are made to become hydrophilic, usually by increasing negative charge through a chemical means. This increased negative charge is important for cell attachment, and may explain why cells cultured in your non-treated plasticware clump (namely that they are not attaching adequately to the surface).
