Cells are sourced from various tissues to grow them in in-vitro conditions. Therefore, cell specific nutrients are important for their survival, maintenance and growth. Determining the appropriate cell culture media is a challenge if you are growing a cell line or a microorganism for the first time. Established cell lines, primary cells, stem cells, bacteria and Yeast all require varied nutrients from basic to complex. Based on the cell type, one can easy find what media and nutrients your peers have used before you try to reinvent the wheel.

Cell Invasion or Cell Migration assays are technically challenging to set up as the gradient between the two compartments equilibrates in time during the assay. It is also problematic to view cells and for cells to migrate through a non-physiologic polycarbonate or polypropylene filter. Care must be taken while loading the well with cells to form a single cell suspension. Precaution must be taken while trypsinization (under-trypsinization can lead to cell clumping while over-trypsinization could strip off adhesion molecules necessary for migration). This leads to difficulty in getting significant results, when only small numbers of cells cross the filter or when the distribution and/or staining of the cells is uneven.

DNA damage assay is a standard method for determining in-vivo/in-vitro genotoxicity by measuring the breaks in the DNA chain of animal and plant cells. Initial DNA damage leads to cell cycle arrest and, at the final stages, leads to induction of senescence or cell death (apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy, or mitotic catastrophe). Detection of DNA damage from mild to moderate to severe is challenging when studying genotoxicity in the pool of cells. It is favorable to use DNA damage assay kits available for prominent identification of the extent of damage in the analysis.
