Any laboratory in which tissue culture techniques are performed,
regardless of the specifi c purpose, must contain a number of
basic facilities. These usually include the following:
A general washing area
A media preparation, sterilization, and storage area
An aseptic transfer area
Environmentally controlled incubators or culture rooms
An observation/data collection area.
Washing Area
The washing area should contain large sinks, draining boards,
and racks, and have access to deionized/distilled water. Space
for drying ovens or racks, automated dishwashers, acid baths,
pipet washers and driers, and storage cabinets may be necessary
in the washing area, depending on the work being performed.
