Additionally, the USDA has stated that B.S.E. is not passed from a mother cow to her calf. The prion based disease has not been proven to spread from the brain or spinal material into the muscle or blood of the animal. There have been no bovine fetus or newborn by-products that have tested positive for B.S.E. and USDA officials state the youngest animal to consider suspect is 30 months or older.

We at Tissue Culture Biologicals constantly strive to bring only the highest quality products to the market. We make every attempt to stay abreast of safe global supplies and only process raw material that is approved by the USDA as being B.S.E. free.

In our 34th year in business, we’ve continued to expand and provide high quality products for the biotechnology industry!

Quality The quality cannot be surpassed. Strict attention and care in the manufacturing process is given, and it’s not left to another country where standards may not be as high. Many of these standards are required by law in the U.S.

Contact If any contact is needed with the manufacturer, it’s is simple because you are dealing with folks directly, in the same language, who have an individual interest in you as the customer.

Price Because you are dealing with the manufacturer directly, large quantities can be ordered for the best price possible. There aren’t middle-men between you and the manufacturer to raise the cost of what you are paying.

Tissue Culture Biologicals was founded in the U.S. and continues to maintain manufacturing in the U.S. All of our products are manufactured under the Good Manufacturing Practices guidelines, established by the F.D.A. We are here to answer any questions you may have and deliver quality products that keep you a returning client. Give us a call today!

Temperature control

Every time someone opens the door of an incubator, they disrupt the temperature of the interior. Currents of warm and cool air swirl around inside, and the incubator’s temperature control system must work to return the interior’s temperature to the set level. Water jackets are one type of mechanism that makes incubators less susceptible to fluctuating temperatures; water jackets can be particularly valuable in the event of a power failure.

Although water jackets offer many advantages, they also can incur disadvantages: maintenance includes draining and filling with water and adding algaecide; also, the water is heavy enough to make it difficult to move the incubator without first draining the jacket. Hoping to lighten the load, Caron recently introduced its new GelJacket™ technology. The 10-cubic foot GelJacket benchtop CO₂ incubator (offered in non-refrigerated or refrigerated models) retains uniform heating and also includes other vital features, such as a decontamination cycle, infrared (IR) sensor for CO₂ control (see below) and humidity control without a water pan (see below). “Caron’s new GelJacket incubator easily exceeds the thermal protection of water jacket incubators by retaining a far greater amount of heat than any other insulation technology available in CO₂ incubators,” says Leah Harris, director of marketing communications at Caron. “In addition, the GelJacket incubator includes a 90˚C moist heat decontamination cycle, not possible in water jackets. GelJacket’s sealed gel requires no maintenance, is lightweight and has virtually no risk of leaking.”
