Splitting ASM cells Main project page
Next entry

Summary

To keep cells viable they need to be divided (split) over multiple plates after they have become confluent. This provides cells with space to keep dividing.

Materials & Methods

Materials

Method

  • Warm solution required in water (PBS, DMEM S+)
  • Switch on laminar flow, clean it and spray everything required (except for cells) with EtOH (70%) prior to putting into the laminar flow
  • Switch the vacuum pump on
  • Check cells under microscope
  • Remove medium with vacuum pump
  • Rinse cells twice with 5 mL PBS and remove buffer with vacuum pump
  • Defrost trypsin
  • Add 1 mL trypsin
  • Incubate 37 °C, 5 min.
    • Prepare Greiner tube with 39 mL DMEM S+
    • Prepare 3 Petri dishes with Name, Donor and Passage
  • After incubation add 5 - 10 mL DMEM S+ to cells (from prepared 39 mL)
    • Rinse the dish with the medium in order to get all cells removed from plate and in the liquid
  • Remove cell suspension and add to the remaining medium in the prepared Greiner tube (39 mL + 1 mL trypsin = 40 mL total volume)
  • Divide cells over the 4 petri dishes (recycle previous one) 10 mL each
  • Incubate @ 37 °C
