Storage, plating, and media
How should I store my cells?
Cells should be stored in liquid nitrogen or thawed immediately upon arrival.
How should I plate my cells and what media should I use?
Cells are frozen in 10% DMSO. You can remove the DMSO by washing and spinning or dilute the DMSO down to 0.5% with media for the initial plating. Please make sure to check the media requirements listed on each cell line's datasheet under the heading "Growth Media". Please note that some lines should be grown in selection media.
It is recommended to expand cells in flasks as they are much less contamination-prone. Plate format, in contrast, works better for limited term/end point type experiments.
