[Effect of various substances on cultured mammalian cell growth]

The effect of different home industry materials on the growth of Chinese hamster cells in culture has been studied. The plating efficiency of the culture and the ability to produce a monolayer were used as criteria. The materials under study can be divided into three groups: indifferent materials, those partially inhibiting the cell growth, and destructive ones. While constructing the apparatus for cultivation, the following materials are to chosen: titanium, molybdenum glass, plexiglass, polycarbonate, lavsan, polyethylene, fruorine films, pentoplast, silicon rubber, stainless steel, white food plate rubber, teflon, polymerized epoxy resin.
