"We are not getting information like this from any where. The seminar was amazing, very useful to my work. Thanks for organizing these sessions."
"Great tips! I'll pass along information I learned here to my colleagues to let them know how we should conduct cell culture properly. Many thanks indeed again."
"I use your seminars as training for new employees and estimate they save my company more than $24,000 a year in training costs."
"Thank you so much for the webinar on growing happier cells. It was fantastic. Our lab is starting up cell culture and I must admit I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. After participating, I feel very confident we will be able to get this up and running in no time with good reproducible results."
"I have been doing cell culture for 20+ years, and found the presentation informative and thought provoking. One can never learn enough about cell culture as it is an evolving art/science."
The Corning Scientific Seminars are free online technical presentations that provide novel tips, best practices and proven techniques to help advance your research. Delivered by scientists, these one hour sessions have proven useful for technicians as well as for researchers who have been doing cell culture and assays for years. All attendees receive a certificate of completion.

Choosing the Best Surface for Growing Cells
- Presented by John So, M.S. Part of optimizing the culture environment is selecting the best culture surface. This is especially important when growing difficult to attach cells. This live, online seminar will review the many surfaces and coating available for cell culture to help you select the best surface for your culture applications. Among the topics covered:
What's new in cell culture surfaces
Using biological coatings
Advantages of permeable surfaces

Corning is happy to acknowledge the help of ATCC and SIVB in sponsoring these Cell Culture and Assay Training Seminars.
Founded in 1925, ATCC is the world's leading Biological Resource Center. Its mission is to acquire, authenticate, preserve, produce, develop and share biological materials for the advancement of scientific knowledge. ATCC offers over 3,600 cell lines from 80 species as well as fully tested media, sera and tissue culture reagents for growing them. Its mission is to acquire, authenticate, preserve, develop and distribute biological materials, information, technology, intellectual property and standards for the advancement, validation and application of scientific knowledge.
Our newest co-sponsor, The Society for In Vitro Biology (SIVB) was originally founded in 1946 as the Tissue Culture Association to foster exchange of knowledge of in vitro biology of cells, tissues and organs from both plant and animals. In 1994 the name was changed to the SIVB. The focus of the SIVB is on biological research, development, and applications of significance to science and society. Their mission is accomplished through the Society's publications; national and local conferences, meetings and workshops; and through support of teaching initiatives in cooperation with educational institutions.
