Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Cell culture medium is a culture medium that provides appropriate nutrients and environmental conditions to support the growth, proliferation and maintenance of functions of cells in vitro. The formula and composition of cell culture medium usually vary according to the specific cell type, culture conditions and application requirements. Correct selection and configuration of culture medium is one of the keys to in vitro cell culture, which can affect the growth status, health status of cells and the reliability of experimental results.
[0003] When dissolving powdered raw materials, although the powdered raw materials can be dissolved in water, due to the small particle size of the powdered materials during the dissolution preparation, agglomerates are easily formed in the initial stage of dissolution and are difficult to dissolve in water, which affects the initial dissolution rate of the raw materials. Traditionally, the mixing of raw materials for cell culture is generally done by manual mixing, which increases the labor intensity of operators and causes low production efficiency. At the same time, the raw materials cannot be evenly stirred and mixed, resulting in poor mixing effect of the culture medium raw materials. Utility Model Content
