Cell technology, manufacturing and quality control

01

Clean Room

• Airborne particulates managed below the specified cleanliness level.
• Cleanliness maintained to protect raw materials used in the manufacturing space.
• Designed to control temperature and humidity, with incubators planned in from the design stage.

02

Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC)

• Used in laboratories handling infectious materials such as pathogens.
• Basic safety equipment protecting the handled material, the operator and the environment.
• Classified as class 1, 2 or 3 according to the type and speed of inflow and exhaust air.

03

CO2 incubator

• Tissue-culture thermostat maintaining a carbon-dioxide-supplemented gas environment.
• Used to adjust the pH of the culture medium.
• Supplies the set CO2 level and maintains temperature.

04

Centrifuge

• Divides a homogenate into fractions using centrifugal force.
• Spins at high speed and separates materials by particle size and density.

05

Inverted Microscope

• Captures the image with an objective lens and refracts it through a prism for viewing from the front eyepiece.
• Allows the morphology and function of proliferating cultured cells to be observed.

06

Liquid nitrogen tank

• Used for long-term preservation of cells at cryogenic temperature.
• Liquefied nitrogen exists as a liquid at -196 °C under atmospheric pressure.

07

Air Handling Unit

• Device supplying outside air into the clean room.
• Comprises heating coil, cooling coil, humidifier, air filter and blower unit.

08

HEPA Filter

• HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air (99.97%).
• Air purification device developed to remove airborne particulates.
• Used where an entirely clean air environment is required for safety.
