Question: Have you ever killed your cells before?

Amanda Barnes answered on 6 Mar 2017:

Yes!!! Sometimes on purpose, sometimes by accident!

The media we use to grow cells in also helps bugs like fungus and bacteria grow. Sometimes when you look at the cells in your flask there is also fungus in bacteria in there. These need throwing away – and need killing with a disinfectant.

Sometimes if you forget to feed them they die as well 🙁
