Introduction
To satisfy the increasing demand for food by the growing human population, cultured meat (also called in vitro, artificial or lab-grown meat) is presented by its advocates as a good alternative for consumers.
However, research is still required to optimize cell culture methodology. It is also almost impossible to reproduce the diversity of meats derived from various species, breeds and cuts.
Cell culture for lab-grown meat is a process to recreate the complex structure of livestock muscles with a few cells. A biopsy is taken from a live animal. This piece of muscle will be cut to liberate the stem cells, which have the ability to proliferate but can also transform themselves into different types of cells, such as muscle cells and fat cells
During this process the cells are kept in a controlled and monitored environment that replicates the temperature inside the body of a cow, for example, to speed up the development of the lab-grown meat.
At Fisher Scientific we provide the controlled and monitored environment for cell growth, our CO2 incubators, including the Thermo Scientific Steri-cycle 160i. Our CO2 incubators have proven reliability, outstanding contamination prevention, and optimal growing conditions.
Our CO2 incubators provide a premium clean room compatible solution where cell cultures can grow in a controlled, protected environment. Optional variable oxygen control allows for precise control of the culture environment, critical particularly for more sensitive cells. ISO Class 5 HEPA filtration for airborne contamination protection as well as the proven 180°C sterilization feature that keep the environment protected against contamination.
