Clonal growth experiments with polystyrene-attached HeLa cells indicate that analysis of clone size distribution in mammalian cells grown in vitro must be carried out within one plating experiment.

AN assumption inherent in back-mutation experiments is that at the cell concentrations used ‘background’ prototrophs in a substantially auxotrophic population will be expressed quantitatively in the ...

Three laser experiments today: laser-induced electroless copper plating, laser-assisted electroplating on stainless steel, ...

The plating experiment in this image shows how yeast strains vary in resistance to a drug. Different strains (horizontal rows) were grown at cell densities that decrease from left to right. Sensitive ...

Cell culture media is one of the most important components of the in vitro tissue environment. It provides the nutrients, minerals and growth factors necessary to sustain cells outside the body. This ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...
