Recommendations:
- Recommended culture vessel coating: Fibronectin
- Recommended cell culture medium: Axol MSC Expansion Medium followed by Axol MSC Adipogenesis Medium (see Table)
- Seeding density for Adipogenesis: 40,000-60,000 viable cells/cm2
- Recommended centrifugation speed: 200 x g for 5 min
Coating:
- Coat the required number of 6-well plates with Fibronectin Coating Solution.
- Dilute the stock Fibronectin Coating Solution 1:50 in sterile water to make 1x working solution e.g. 100 μL in 5 mL.
- On the day prior to thawing the cells, coat the surface of your culture vessel with the Fibronectin 1x working solution. We recommend coating at a volume of 200 μL per cm2 however, please optimize for your experiments.
- Incubate the culture vessel overnight at 37°C in a humidified incubator.
- Remove the coating solution prior to seeding the cells.
Coating the culture vessels with Fibronectin will prevent the cells from detaching during differentiation
Seeding:
- Expand the MSCs (Umbilical Cord Derived) in MSC Expansion Medium for Adipose
- Tissue Derived & Umbilical Cord Derived MSCs until the cells are actively proliferating.
- Passage when the culture reaches: 70-90% confluent
- Recommended passaging reagent: Trypsin-EDTA
- Neutralize the trypsin with pre-warmed cell culture medium and centrifuge the cells at 200x g for 5 min.
- Remove the supernatant and resuspend in 1-2 mL of pre-warmed cell culture medium.
- Perform a cell count to determine the number of viable cells.
- Seed cells into the 6-well plate (coated with Fibronectin) at the recommended seeding density (40,000-60,000 viable cells/cm2 ) in pre-warmed MSC Expansion Medium (2 mL per well for a 6-well plate).
- Incubate the cells at 37°C, 5% CO2 in a humidified incubator.
