What are the Challenges of Primary Culture in Nursing?
Despite its benefits, primary culture presents several challenges:
- Technical Complexity: The process requires specialized skills and equipment, which can be a barrier for some nursing settings. - Contamination Risk: Maintaining sterility is critical, as contamination can compromise the results. - Short Lifespan: Primary cells have a limited lifespan and can only be used for a short period, necessitating continuous sampling.
