Laboratory Space for Tissue Culture - The organisation of a tissue culture laboratory depends mainly on the nature and the scale of activity. In general space for the following is needed:
(1) washing, drying and storage of vessels,
(2) preparation, sterilization and storage of media,
(3) aseptic handling of explants and cultures,
(4) maintenance of cultures and
(5) observation of cultures.
In a modest laboratory, provisions for activities 1 and 2 can be made in a single room (media room), while the remaining work can be done in another room (culture room). In such a situation, the following precautions should be taken.
