Unlike the rest of the mutants, strains B12, B19, B24 and Iqq4 were easy to handle and maintained healthy cultures for at least 2 months, so they were selected to be grown in small experimental 80-L ponds.
Pigs are easier to handle and maintain, however media prepared from pig blood does not yield acceptable results for some common microbiology tests [4].
In addition to molecular weight distribution, beta-sheet content contributed to scaffold integrity, as autoclaved scaffolds were easier to handle and maintained better scaffold integrity compared to 2 h water annealed scaffolds at all concentrations.
In contrast, the Carbylan TM-SX (a new carboxylated and thiol-modified HA-derivative) films are elastic, robust, and easy to handle and can maintain their integrity during manipulation.
Goats are also relatively inexpensive to maintain, easy to handle, and the cartilage thickness allows for the creation of both chondral and osteochondral defects (Chu et al. 2010a).
They are also small, easy to handle and inexpensive.
