Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cell culture, and more specifically to a process for preparing cell culture medium. Background Technology

[0002] Cell culture medium is a liquid culture medium used for cell culture, containing the nutrients and growth factors necessary for cell growth. Cell culture medium typically consists of various components, including inorganic salts, amino acids, sugars, vitamins, and fetal bovine serum. The formulation of cell culture medium varies depending on the type of cell and the culture purpose; a suitable medium can be selected for specific cell types to promote cell growth and proliferation. Cell culture medium needs to be prepared and stored under sterile conditions to ensure cell health and successful culture. Traditional cell culture medium preparation processes can lead to bacterial contamination, making it impossible to filter the prepared medium through a membrane, thus failing to remove potential microorganisms and impurities and compromising the sterility of the medium. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a cell culture medium preparation process, which has the advantage of filtering the prepared culture medium through a filter membrane to remove any possible microorganisms and impurities, thus ensuring the sterility of the culture medium.

[0004] A cell culture medium preparation process includes the following steps:

[0005] S1: Select a basic culture medium and add additives to the culture medium;

[0006] S2: Add the culture medium and additives to the preparation device so that the culture medium and additives dissolve in deionized water;

[0007] S3: Allow the dissolved culture medium to flow from the top to the bottom of the preparation device, filter the prepared culture solution through a filter membrane to remove any possible microorganisms and impurities, and ensure the sterility of the culture solution;

[0008] S4: Dispense the filtered culture medium into sterile culture bottles and sterilize the culture bottles using an autoclave or dry heat sterilizer to kill any remaining microorganisms.

[0009] S5: Adjust the pH of the culture medium using acid or alkaline solutions. Attached Figure Description
