Good Cell Culture Practice Seminars

NEW! from XCellR8: on-site seminars in Good Cell Culture Practice (GCCP)

Bring your whole team up to date in a single training event delivered by our cell culture experts

“Engaging, informative, progressive – embracing best practice in an easily digestible format”

Our on-site training seminars provide a time-efficient and cost-effective training solution, helping organisations to:

  • Fulfil their obligations to provide Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for employees;
  • Maximise R&D productivity through the promotion of best practice, helping to avoid costly project delays.
  • Provide scientists with a fast-track update on essential new developments in the field.

Our standard half-day seminar covers the latest independent recommendations in essential topics including:

  • Cryopreservation and cell banking
  • Avoidance of “corrupt” cell stocks:
    - Cell line authentication
    - Contamination sources and mycoplasma testing
    - Quality Control
    - Functional characterisation
  • The five-star treatment for your cells: optimal incubation, re-feeding, sub-culture and cell counting procedures. Media and reagent selection
  • Troubleshooting in cell culture: avoiding and resolving common issues

Practical hints and tips are discussed throughout the seminar. Our informal style encourages interaction and questions, creating a highly effective learning environment for both new and experienced cell culture scientists.

Participants are provided with training notes and a Certificate of Attendance.

Importantly, we provide free follow-up technical support, helping to address questions that may arise once participants return to their own working environment.
