Apartments for Laboratory Cells

From INTEGRA Biosciences AG
 

 

The atmosphere in Susi's lab is electric; the suspension and adherent cells, the CHO cells and primary tissue cells from the incubator have elected Susi as their spokeswoman. Her first task is to talk to the guy in charge of the lab to get better living and working conditions. Not an easy job - he is currently sitting at his desk, after hours, cursing the invoices for lab materials and seeing his budget literally melting away before his eyes.

Around midnight, when he comes to do the last incubator check, Susi plucks up all her courage and speaks to him. She explains that her incubator friends have been unhappy for some considerable time, mainly due to the poor living and working conditions for the cell cultures.
