Cell Culture Media Protocol

Consult abcam counting cell using a hemocytometer protocol.

Cell culture media protocol.

T175 30ml at 2e4 cells cm2. Basal media mem α provides the basic nutrients that cells need such as amino acids ions and a ph buffer. 55 x 10 4 cells ml 1 22 45. This protocol is for making complete media suitable for culturing tenocytes tendon cells.

2 cryopreservation 2 for cell culture. 9 cell culture antibiotic sterile filtered. This will give a value for the volume of media the cells should be in. Suitable for cell culture.

Cell line passage number etc. It contains mem α 20 fbs 1 pen strep and a small amount of 2 mercaptoethanol. In vivo when the study involves living biological entities within the organism. Presence of serum in the media has many drawbacks and can lead to serious misinterpretations in immunological studies 2 3 a number of serum free media have been developed 4 5 these media are generally specifically formulated to support the culture of a single cell type such as knockout serum replacement and knockout dmem from thermo fisher scientific and mtesr1 medium from stem cell.

If the cell count is 55 x 10 4 ml and there is 100 ml of cell suspension. 2 a semi synthetic solid medium containing sucrose as c source and nitrate as the sole source of nitrogen useful for the general cultivation of fungi yeasts and soil bacteria. Add the correct amount of pre warmed culture media using serological pipette. Most cell lines can be grown using dmem culture media or rpmi culture media with 10 foetal bovine serum fbs 2 mm glutamine and antibiotics can be added if required see table below.

Label culture flask with all necessary info e g. Cell culture cell culture is one of the major tools used in cellular and molecular biology providing excellent model systems for studying the normal physiology and biochemistry of cells e g metabolic studies aging the effects of drugs and toxic compounds on the cells. Then resuspend cells in sterile media to a suitable volume for counting. As the cells are in 100 ml media the next calculation is.

Based on count and viability data seed cell suspension for an appropriate flask and density e g.
