Handling

  • Format: Frozen
  • Growth medium: Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium, + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) + 2 mM Glutamine
  • Unit size: 1x10^6 cells / vial
  • Shipping conditions: Dry ice
  • Subculture routine: Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:3 to 1:6 i.e. seeding at 2-4x10,000 cells/cm² using 0.05% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO₂; 37°C. C99 cells grow very slowly; following resuscitation or subculture the cells take at least 48 hours to re-attach. Cells should be left without disturbance during this time to facilitate adhesion. Once attached, the cells grow in discrete islands and use of trypsin or trypsin/EDTA to subculture the cells (even without knocking the flask) yields large clumps. Further disaggregation may be achieved by repeatedly pipetting the cells.
