A QUICK TOUR

Each item on the beginning screen is linked to a video

1.  Click the Start button to begin.  It's a good idea to look over the workflow before moving on.

Start by looking at the overall workflow.  Clicking different stages shows the steps in each stage.

2.  Click Equipment to view the kinds of equipment used in each stage.

The Equipment screen shows the different equipment used in this process.
Students can click each item and learn more about it.

3.  Click VLabs to use the virtual labs. The inoculation lab is shown below.

This virtual lab walks through the process of inoculating cells.  The tutorial demonstrates each step.  
Students are able to practice this.

4.  The Cell growth vLab simulates using a single-use bioreactor.

The cell growth virtual lab has students add all the components for cell growth and
set the parameters for the bioreactor.

4.  The Cell counting vLab gives students practice in counting cells. First, the sample is prepared.

The cell counting virtual lab includes sample preparation.

5.  Then, cells are counted and you calculate the concentration.

In cell counting virtual lab, students practice counting cells in a virtual hemocytometer.
