Silicones and Cell
|
Silicone rubber sheeting is offering the researcher a valuable laboratory
tool in the continuing effort to grow human cells outside the body. The
sheeting allows cell growth outside the body with duplication of the environment
inside the body. Cells will not grow with direct contact to silicone rubber,
but by depositing a protein layer on the silicone, cells will attach to
this layer of protein and grow. The ability to stretch the elastic silicone
rubber allows for systems to be built that replicate the dynamic forces
that cells see in the human body. The ability of silicone rubber to transmit
CO2, O2 and N2 across a membrane has been well documented in research literature.
This physical characteristic of silicone rubber allows the researcher to
construct "artificial lungs" for cell growth systems which replenished O2
to the cells and removes CO2 from the cells. The biological inertness of
silicone rubber assures a non-toxic environment for the growth of cells.
We are currently providing silicone rubber sheeting and tubing for researchers
conducting studies of human cell growth. |

How To Clean
|
Scrub with a clean sponge or soft brush in a hot water and soap solution.
Do not use synthetic detergents or oil-based soaps. They can be absorbed,
only to leach out and cause reactions later. Rinse in hot water. Follow
with another rinse in distilled water. |
|
Sterilization |
STEAM
Wrap in non-linting material or place in a clean tray. Autoclave by one of the following:
RADIATION
ETHYLENE OXIDE
