Product Overview
The CELL CULTURE (PRIMARY & SECONDARY) – HIB CHART is an essential lab tool engineered for accurate documentation and monitoring of cell cultures. Constructed from high-quality laminated paper with a waterproof coating, this chart ensures durability against spills, humidity, and frequent handling in demanding lab environments. Its non-toxic, chemical-resistant composition makes it safe for use with primary and secondary cell lines, preventing cross-contamination or degradation over time. The chart’s standardized layout is optimized for clarity, featuring pre-printed grids and labeling sections that simplify record-keeping of cell growth phases, medium changes, and morphological observations. Unlike generic lab notebooks, this specialized chart eliminates the risk of smudging or ink bleeding, even when exposed to alcohol-based disinfectants or incubation conditions. Its compact, single-sheet design fits seamlessly into lab binders or culture hoods, ensuring easy access during critical procedures. Whether used for routine maintenance or experimental protocols, this HIB chart enhances workflow efficiency by reducing documentation errors and providing a reliable reference for long-term cell line management.
FAQs
1. What is the primary advantage of using this HIB chart over regular lab notebooks?
This chart is specifically designed with waterproof lamination and chemical-resistant materials, unlike standard notebooks that may degrade or smudge when exposed to lab reagents or moisture. The pre-formatted grids also streamline data entry for cell culture tracking.
2. Can this chart be used for both adherent and suspension cell cultures?
Yes, the chart’s versatile layout accommodates documentation for all cell culture types, including adherent monolayers and suspension cultures, with dedicated sections for noting confluence, aggregation, or medium conditions.
3. How should this chart be stored to maintain its integrity over time?
Store the chart in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Avoid folding or creasing, and keep it flat in a lab binder or protective sleeve to prevent wear from repeated handling.
4. Is this chart compatible with sterile environments like biosafety cabinets?
The non-toxic, laminated surface can be wiped down with 70% ethanol or other common lab disinfectants, making it suitable for use inside biosafety cabinets or laminar flow hoods without compromising sterility.
5. Are there alternative formats available for digital documentation?
While this physical chart is optimized for real-time lab use, some researchers pair it with digital tools by photographing or scanning filled charts for electronic records. However, no direct digital equivalent is offered for this specific product.
