Standardization of diagnostic materials. 5. Tissue culture media and reagents.
The various factors that affect the growth of cell cultures in vitro are considered and suggestions are made as to where the standardization of components would help to provide more uniform products. The manufacture of powdered media in bulk and the establishment of cell banks have been major advances, but much research is needed for the standardization or replacement of serum.
