🧫 Wet-Lab Bioreactor Fundamentals — Cell Culture Scale-Up Workshop

Join us at **Counter Culture Labs** (549 48th Street, Oakland, CA 94609) for an interactive **Wet-Lab Cell Culture Scale-Up Workshop**. Cells can produce a variety of molecules from pharmaceuticals to cosmetics. They can also be used as lab-grown meat! Large volumes of cells are needed for production of desired biologicals, which can be achieved through scale-up of cell cultures and growth of cells in bioreactors. In this workshop, participants will learn how to set up a bioreactor culture. We will cover hands-on techniques from all stages of scale-up from thawing a cell sample to growing cells in flasks in incubators to inoculating a bioreactor and determining the appropriate bioreactor settings. We will practice setting up gas spargers, agitation rotors, a pH sensor probe, and a feeding pump. Participants will learn how to use a serological pipette, an autoclave, a micropipette, an incubator, and a bioreactor control panel. ***The workshop fee is $100. Venmo @ccl-plantbio (Message the event organizer via Meetup if you need an alternate payment method).*** This covers instruction and the materials and equipment used in the class. **About the Instructor** This workshop is taught by Anthony Neil Tan, a BioTech professional and graduate from UC Berkeley in Bioengineering.
