Cell Culture Basics

Exercise 3. Cell Line maintenance and cell passage

General procedure for the cell culture laboratory1. Thawing cells

Culture of cell lines( frozen stock) Thaw Cell line maintenance

Day 1 frozen culture( -190oC) 1 ml in frozen medium 37oC, thaw Add, 10ml culture medium( DMEM+FBS+p/s)

1200 rpm, 5 min

Remove suspension resuspend cell pellet with 5 ml growth medium plating 106 cells/ml

Day 2

Culture( cells checked under inverted microscope)

Remove culture medium, Replace with fresh culture medium (3ml)

Day3 subculture remove culture medium cells washed with 2ml CMF/PBS remove PBS cells, trypsinize with 1x trypsin( 0.025%) ( flush cell by pipetting repeatly) cells taken into 15ml centrifuge tube

1200 rpm, centrifuge, 10min trypsin, removed add 5 ml DMEM cells diluted for plating( 1/4 dilution) in 6 mm cullture dish 37oC, CO2 incubator

2 to 3 days later

cells trypsinize with 1x tyrpsine ( protocols follow the previous page ) cells, resuspend with 5 ml DMEM cell, 10 ul was taken+ 10ul trypane blue cell counting

haemacytometer

10 ul cellwas taken+ 10ul trypane blue

Counting cells

Cell freezing ( 106 cells /ml)

confluent cultures cells trypsinized cell counting cell pellet resuspend in frozen medium -20oC( 2-4hrs) -70oC(2-4hrs) -196oC ( DMEM+10%DMSO)

Gradually Lower temperature to -20oC in ( 2-4hrs)

-70oC(2-4hrs)

-196oC
