Dynamic Expansion of Vero and MRC-5 Cells Using Corning® Microcarriers

Microcarriers have often been used to culture large quantities of adherent cells in a fraction of the space of more traditional static culture systems. Corning’s microcarrier product line offers several different surface treat-ments and coatings to help support optimal growth of a variety of cell types. Corning microcarriers are sterile and ready-to-use without any washing, sterilizing or other preparatory steps. This study demonstrates the dynamic expansion of MRC-5 and Vero cells, two of the most commonly used cell lines for vaccine production, using untreated, Collagen-coated and Positively Charged Corning microcarriers.
