Cross-contamination of cell lines

Cross-contamination of one cell culture with fast-growing cells from another culture (such as HeLa) presents a serious risk. To avoid cross-contamination, only use cell lines from a reputable cell bank; only work with one cell line at a time in the hood; use different pipets, bottles of reagents, and bottles of media for different cell lines; and check cells regularly for the correct morphological and growth characteristics. The QIAGEN Guide to Animal Cell Culture will continue in future issues of QIAGEN News with information on cell culture growth conditions and cell culture protocols. If there is any other information you would like to see on these pages of QIAGEN News, please let us know by calling QIAGEN Technical Services or your local distributor.
