Cell suspension preparation protocol
Cell suspension protocol for single-cell dispensing- Start by washing the cell in the flask with PBS two times, then add trypsin-EDTA. Rock back and forth to ensure trypsin-EDTA covers completely the cell monolayer.
- Proceed by incubating the cell flask with trypsin-EDTA for 10 minutes at 37 °C
- Remove flask from incubator and add 3 ml of complete media to neutralize trypsinization reaction
- Using a serological pipette, pipette up and down 10 times to mix the cell suspension
- Transfer 1 ml of cells to a sterile microcentrifuge tube
- Determine cell viability and concentration using a cell counting method (automated cell counter, hemocytometry, etc.)
- Normalize the concentration of your cells to 200 cell/µl
- Dispense the desired number of cells in each well with Uno
