Aluminium chloride Created 2026-10-18 Updated 2026-10-20
The compound . In an ideal fully dissociated aqueous-electrolyte bookkeeping model, formula concentration supplies of triply charged aluminium ions and of singly charged chloride ions, giving ionic strength . Hydrolysis, ion association and nonideal activities can make this simple model inadequate for concentrated real solutions.
Cell counting 2026-10-18
Cell counting estimates the number of biological cells in a preparation. A count per calibrated volume gives number density; multiplying by the whole preparation's volume estimates its total count. A trypan blue exclusion test adds an operational distinction between dye-excluding and dye-stained biological cells.
For positive recoverable counts bracketing one growth interval, define its net cell line population doublings by
The formula counts how many factors of two produce the observed net factor. For exactly two divisions per original biological cell, with all daughters recovered, , giving . Death or loss of biological cells makes this a net estimate of division.[ref]
Under constant-rate exponential growth, , a growth interval of duration gives
For the constructed fourfold increase over , and the model doubling time is . The proof follows by taking the natural logarithm and solving . This is a fitted property of that interval and model: it is not a universal HeLa doubling time, nor the interval between two divisions of each individual biological cell. Across successive growth intervals, add their values; keep transfer losses separate as in cell culture passage accounting.
Subculture 2026-10-18
A subculture transfers part of a cell culture into fresh cell culture medium; each transfer adds one passage.[ref]
Immortalised cell line Created 2026-10-18 Updated 2026-10-20
An immortalised cell line can apparently sustain unlimited cell line population doublings under suitable conditions. Immortality describes lineage reproduction, not individual biological cell survival.[ref]
Autoclave 2026-10-18
An autoclave uses heated, pressurized water vapor to sterilize suitable materials, including equipment for cell culture.
