Growth characteristics of human diploid fibroblasts in packed beds of glass beads.
Measurement of cell numbers during growth on glass beads is difficult because of the problem of taking a representative sample of the beads aseptically. Growth is therefore estimated by indirect means, predominantly the rate of glucose utilisation. The relationship between rates of glucose utilisation and cell growth is discussed.
