Recommendations:
- Recommended culture vessel coating: Not required
- Recommended cell culture medium: Axol MSC Expansion Medium for Umbilical Cord-
- Derived MSCs
- Recommended seeding density: 5,000-10,000 viable cells/cm2
- Recommended centrifugation speed: 200 x g for 5 min
Always count the number of viable cells after thawing
Thawing & Plating:
- Thaw the cells quickly in a 37°C water bath until just prior to complete thawing
- Wipe the outside of the vial with 70% ethanol
- Gently resuspend the cells and take an aliquot to perform a cell count.
- Slowly dilute the cells into the required volume of pre-warmed MSC Expansion Medium (must be at least 10 mL so that the concentration of DMSO is less than 1%).
- Rinse the cryovial with 1 mL of MSC Expansion Medium to ensure all of the cells are transferred.
- Seed cells into the culture vessel at the recommended seeding density
- Once the cells have attached (after 6-24 h), replace the culture medium with fresh pre-warmed MSC Expansion Medium
- Frequency of media changes: Every 2-3 days
Passaging
- Passage when the culture reaches: 80% confluent
- Recommended passaging reagent: Trypsin-EDTA
- After adding passaging reagent, incubate the cells for 5 minutes at 37°C. 2bserve the cells at regular intervals for detachment from the culture vessel.
- 2nce the cells have detached, neutralize the trypsin with pre-warmed, 37°C SkeletaMuscle CelCulture Medium.
- Centrifuge the cells at 400 x g for 5 minutes.
- Remove the supernatant and resuspend the celpellet in 1-2 m of pre-warmed SkeletaMuscle CelCulture
- Medium freshly supplemented with 10 ng/mRecombinant Human FGF2.
- Perform a celcount to determine the number of viable cells.
- Dilute the cells into the required volume of pre-warmed SkeletaMuscle CelCulture Medium freshly supplemented with 10 ng/mRecombinant Human FGF2.
- Seed cells into the Collagen coated culture vesseat the recommended seeding density of 10,000 viable cells/cm2.
- Incubate the cells at 37°C, 5% CO2 in a humidified incubator
It is recommended that the Mesenchymal Stem Cells are used for endpoint assays prior to passage 6 for optimal performance in your experiments
