Abstract
General Lab procedure, Cell passage
Before start
Warm up culture media, PBS and Trypsin in a 37 °C Waterbath
Inspect cells for confluency, when 70-90 % confluency is reached cells are ready for passage
Discard media and wash once with PBS
Add Trypsin to fully cover the surface of the culture vessel
Incubate for 00:05:00 at 37 °C
5m
Lightly tap the culture vessel and check for cell detachement. If cells are still attached prolong incubation
Add 2/3 of culture media to 1/3 of trypsin and transfer cells into a Falcon tube
Centrifuge at 300 rcf, Room temperature, 00:05:00
5m
Discard supernatant and resubstitute with 1 mL culture media
Count cells and adjust media volume for required cell density
