TITLE: Optimizing Cell Culture Workflows: Plastics, Media, Serum and Specialized Solutions for Reliable Results Successful cell culture depends on the careful selection of every component of the workflow: from the culture vessel and surface to the media, supplements and serum used to support cell growth. This session provides a practical overview of Thermo Fisher Scientific’s cell culture solutions, with a focus on Nunc™ Cell Culture Plastics, Gibco™ Cell Culture Essentials and Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), together with specialized solutions for IVF and advanced cell culture applications. We will explore how culture vessel design and surface characteristics can influence cell attachment, growth and reproducibility; discuss key considerations when selecting media, supplements and serum; and highlight how consistency and quality across the workflow can help reduce experimental variability. The session will connect product selection with real laboratory workflows and provide practical guidance for researchers working across cell biology, life sciences and specialized cell culture applications.
