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.
The base medium for this cell line is DMEM:F12 (ATCC® 30-2006™). To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium:
Note: These cells are cultured on vessels coated with 0.1% Gelatin (ATCC® No. PCS-999-027). Use 1.0 mL of gelatin per 10 cm2 surface area. Incubate at 37.0°C for ≥ 45 minutes. Aspirate gelatin just prior to adding cells to vessel(s).
Temperature:37oC
