Complete Growth Medium
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated F-12K Medium, Catalog No. 30-2004. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: 0.05 mg/ml ascorbic acid; 0.01 mg/ml insulin; 0.01 mg/ml transferrin; 10 ng/ml sodium selenite; 0.03 mg/ml Endothelial Cell Growth Supplement (ECGS); fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%, HEPES to a final concentration of 10 mM, TES to a final concentration of 10 mM.
Subculturing
Remove medium, add fresh 0.25% trypsin, 0.53 mM EDTA solution, and incubate at 37°C for 5 minutes. Add an equal volume of fresh medium, disperse the cells and centrifuge to pellet the cells. Resuspend the cells in fresh medium, aspirate and dispense into new flasks.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 to 1:3 is recommended
Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Cryopreservation
Freeze medium: Complete growth medium 95%; DMSO, 5%
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor temperature
