Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:3 to 1:6 is recommended
Medium Renewal: 2 times per week
Note: For 24 hrs after initiating culture from a thawed ampule or after subculturing, grow the cells in culture medium with 10% fetal bovine serum. If desired, after 24 hrs, the cells may be transferred to serum-free medium.
Note: For more information on enzymatic dissociation and subculturing of cell lines consult Chapter 10 in Culture of Animal Cells, a Manual of Basic Technique by R. Ian Freshney, 3rd edition, published by Alan R. Liss, N.Y., 1994.
Temperature: 37°C
Atmosphere: Air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
