It is a necessary technique across the world of cell biology research. The success of cell culture depends on the optimization of the culture conditions with appropriate levels of (1) gases (O<sub>2</sub>, CO<sub>2</sub>), pH, pressure, and temperature, (2) suitable media to provide the needed nutrients, minerals, salts, and amino acids, (3) effective growth factors to maintain phenotype and overall cell health, (4) proper cell attachment substrates for adherent cell cultures.</p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--individual-faq paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div><p><strong>Can liquid cell culture media be frozen?</strong></p></div> <div><p>Freezing of liquid cell culture media is not recommended due to the fact that freezing typically causes precipitation and formation of insoluble salt complexes.</p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--individual-faq paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div><p><strong>After I heat inactivated my serum, some precipitates are visible. Why?</strong></p></div> <div><p>Heat inactivated serum may contain some turbidity, flocculent material, or crystalline precipitate. This is a normal occurrence with serum products and in no way indicates that the quality of the product has been compromised. Commonly, this material is composed of fibrin that has converted from the soluble precursor form, fibrinogen, in serum. It is best when sera is collected and processed rapidly at cold temperatures to yield the highest quality serum with excellent growth properties. This rapid cold processing allows some soluble fibrinogen to remain in the serum after filtration which may convert to fibrin upon thawing. Precipitates found in serum frequently also contain calcium complexes of inorganic serum components and proteins. Lipid serum components may also cause turbidity of the serum product. Incorrect thawing, frequent thaw-freeze cycles, heat inactivation, and extended storage at temperatures above freezing will result in a greater amount of precipitates. The presence of precipitates in serum does not alter the performance characteristics of the product when used as a growth supplement for cell culture. It is not recommended to filter the serum to remove these precipitates. Doing so may result in the loss of some serum nutrients and may clog the filter. Instead, if removal of the flocculence is desired, brief centrifugation of the serum in sterile tubes at 400 x g is recommended.</p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--individual-faq paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div><p><strong>How should I thaw serum to ensure that the performance is not compromised?</strong></p></div> <div><p>Frozen serum should be thawed rapidly to avoid prolonged exposure of serum nutrients to higher salt concentrations during the thaw period. Thaw frozen serum at room temperature or in a 37 °C water bath. Periodically agitate the bottle during the thawing process to re-suspend the viscous solutes and to avoid the formation of salt, protein and lipid gradients that can lead to excessive precipitation. Promptly remove the serum from the water bath as soon as the serum is completely thawed. Thoroughly mix the thawed serum before it is added to a culture medium or is heat inactivated. Thawing of serum at temperatures above 37 °C is not recommended. This process may degrade heat labile nutrients, thus compromising the integrity and performance of the product, and can cause increased precipitate formation.</p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--individual-faq paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div><p><strong>What procedure do you recommend for freezing serum?</strong></p></div> <div><p>Serum should be frozen as rapidly as possible to avoid prolonged exposure of serum nutrients to higher salt concentrations. Water is the first serum component to freeze, resulting in other serum components such as proteins and salts to accumulate at the bottom of the container at a higher concentration. Therefore, slow freezing will result in excessive formation of crystalline precipitates.</p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--individual-faq paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div><p><strong>Is serum light-sensitive?</strong></p></div> <div><p>Serum contains components that are affected by exposure to light. However, normal handling of serum under room lights should have little effect on the serum. The effect of light on the serum will depend upon the intensity of light, the wavelength of light and the duration of exposure. Therefore, high intensity lights and long-term storage under light should be avoided. Note that certain cell lines may be more sensitive to the effects of light on serum than other cell lines.</p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--individual-faq paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div><p><strong>Why is serum heat inactivated?</strong></p></div> <div><p>Generally, the objective of heat inactivation is to destroy complement activity in the serum without affecting the growth-promoting characteristics of the product. Removal of complement activity from the serum is not required for most cell cultures, but may be necessary for cultures that are sensitive to the complement activity. Since heat inactivation of the serum may, to some extent, decrease the growth performance properties of the serum, this procedure should only be performed if actually required for optimal cell growth. If heat inactivation is required, the process should be carefully controlled to avoid increased denaturation of serum proteins and formation of crystalline precipitates, potentially resulting in excessive loss of growth performance. Initially, heat inactivation was also used to inactivate microbial contaminants such as mycoplasma. Heat inactivation is unnecessary when sera is triple 0.1 µm filtered and tests negative for mycoplasma, bacteria and fungi. Sometimes, heat inactivation is performed to disrupt susceptible viruses. In most protocols for this application, prolonged heat inactivation is required. This is not recommended, since valuable components of the serum are rendered ineffective by this treatment.</p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--individual-faq paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div><p><strong>Why do some cell culture media contain sodium pyruvate?</strong></p></div> <div><p>Sodium pyruvate is added to many low glucose and high glucose DMEM formulations. Sodium pyruvate can be used by cells as a readily accessible carbon source for energy production and other critical metabolic pathways, bypassing the need to produce it biosynthetically from glucose or amino acids. Some cell lines require the addition of pyruvate to the culture media since they lack the ability to convert glucose or amino acids into pyruvate.</p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--individual-faq paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div><p><strong>Why is there lot-to-lot variability in serum?</strong></p></div> <div><p>Serum products contain a complex mixture of biological components, a majority of which have not yet been fully defined. The composition of these serum components naturally varies from lot-to-lot. The best serum lot for you is the one that works for your cells in your specific application. </p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--individual-faq paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div><h4>Extracellular Matrix Components</h4> <p><strong>What is Laminin I?</strong></p></div> <div><p>Laminin I is a major component of extracellular matrix.<strong> </strong><a href="/t/laminin-1/cell-culture"><strong>Cultrex Laminin I</strong></a> is purified from murine EHS sarcoma.

This is accomplished by generating a void in a cell monolayer by either removing cells or treating the surface of the plate to prevent cell growth in a designated area. The assay measures the ability of the cell monolayer to fill this void, and it may be conducted in the presence of extracellular matrix proteins. Since this assay is conducted within one chamber, there is no chemotactic gradient, and without the membrane, the cells are no longer required to change shape and squeeze through the pores. Another potential problem is that this assay does not control for differences in cell proliferation. While wound healing assays may be valuable for supplementing the Boyden chamber assay, it is not a replacement.</p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--individual-faq paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div><p><strong>Which basement membrane protein is best for studying invasion?</strong></p></div> <div><p>Choice of matrix should correspond to the environment that you wish to recapitulate. <a href="/t/basement-membrane-extracts/cell-culture?sub_category=Basement%20Membrane%20Extracts"><strong>Cultrex Basement Membrane Extracts</strong></a> will recapitulate the basal lamina, which underlie most cells of epithelial or endothelial origin.
