METHOD TO INCREASE THE RATE OF CELL GROWTH

摘要

A method of increasing the growth rate of procaryotic and eucaryotic cells in culture is provided. The method teaches the exposure of the cells in culture to ultrasound of a selected frequency and intensity during incubation to improve cell growth. According to the methods of the invention, the frequency of the ultrasound may be from about 20 kHz to about 1 MHz, and the intensity of the ultrasound may be from about 1 mW/cm2 to about 5 mW/cm2.
