Sampling In The PBS Mini

Accurate sampling is crucial for monitoring and controlling cell culture systems. When working with the PBS Mini bioreactor, understanding the optimal techniques for sample collection can significantly impact the reliability of your data. This often involves considering the volume and frequency of samples, especially when working with different vessel sizes, to avoid impacting the culture. Achieving a truly representative sample also means ensuring proper mixing within the bioreactor by adjusting the RPM to eliminate "dead zones" where cells might settle.

This video will walk you through the precise steps for taking a representative sample, including optimal pipette positioning and the importance of a single, continuous pull, to ensure your downstream analyses are as accurate as possible.
