Improve Cell Adhesion by 25%
Vibration can have detrimental effects on the adherence of in vitro cell cultures, leading to lost lab productivity and increased costs. This study provides evidence that the use of a hypoxia workstation fitted with rubber ferrules on the floor plate and an optional anti-vibration plate reduces vibration by up to 59% over a standard CO2 incubator, improving cell adhesion by more than 25% (p = 0.01). Combined with the benefits of providing a continuously-controlled physiologically-relevant atmosphere, this reduction in vibration can help improve cell yields and preserve sensitive cell lines.
