Bacteria Control
Since most bacteria replicate rapidly—often within 20 minutes—bacterial contamination in cell cultures is easy to spot as the medium quickly becomes cloudy. In such cases, best laboratory practices recommend discarding the contaminated culture and restarting with a new vial.
However, this approach can be devastating when no backup vial is available, such as when working with newly acquired cell lines, early-stage stable cell lines, or highly valuable production cell lines.
For these critical situations, our BacOut™ solution offers a reliable method to rescue your precious cells from bacterial contamination. Although the process is technically challenging, success is achievable by strictly following our protocol.
If additional support is needed, our experienced cell biologists are available to provide custom bacterial decontamination services.
