Recommendations:
- Always count the number of viable cells after thawing
- Recommended culture vessel coating: Type I Collagen
- Recommended cell culture media: Axol Uncultured Hepatocyte Plating Medium & Axol Uncultured Hepatocyte Maintenance Medium
- Recommended seeding density: 200,000 viable cells/cm2
- Recommended centrifugation speed: 100 x g at 4°C for 10 min
Thawing & Plating:
Coat the culture vessels with Type I Collagen or use pre-coated culture vessels
- 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 transfer to a 15 mL sterile conical tube.
- Slowly add 10 mL of cold Plating Medium.
- Rinse the cryovial with 1 mL of cold Plating Medium to ensure all of the cells are transferred.
- Centrifuge the cells at 100 x g at 4°C for 10 min.
- Carefully remove the supernatant and resuspend in 1-2 mL of cold Plating Medium and perform a cell count.
- Dilute the cells into the required volume of pre-warmed Plating Medium.
- Seed cells into the culture vessel (coated with Type I Collagen) at the recommended seeding density.
- Once the cells have attached (after 6-24 h), replace the culture medium with pre-warmed Maintenance Medium.
- Proceed with experiment assays.
Passaging:
Primary hepatocytes cannot be passaged. Cells should be plated and used directly for endpoint assays.
