1 vial
AFT024 is a fibroblast cell that was isolated from the stroma of a mouse. This cell has applications in stem cell research. It can serve as a support layer for stem cells at 37°C; however, to ensure that all AFT024 cells are mitotically inactive, irradiation or Mitomycin C treatment is recommended.

| Handling procedure | To insure the highest level of viability, thaw the vial and initiate the culture as soon as possible upon receipt. If upon arrival, continued storage of the frozen culture is necessary, it should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at –70°C. Storage at –70°C will result in loss of viability. Thaw the vial by gentle agitation in a 37°C water bath. To reduce the possibility of contamination, keep the O-ring and cap out of the water. Thawing should be rapid (approximately 2 minutes). Remove the vial from the water bath as soon as the contents are thawed, and decontaminate by dipping in or spraying with 70% ethanol. All of the operations from this point on should be carried out under strict aseptic conditions. Transfer the vial contents to a centrifuge tube containing 9. 0 mL complete culture medium and spin at approximately 125 x g for 5 to 10 minutes. Resuspend cell pellet with the recommended complete medium (see the specific batch information for the culture recommended dilution ratio) and dispense into a 25 cm2 or a 75 cm2 culture flask. It is important to avoid excessive alkalinity of the medium during recovery of the cells. It is suggested that, prior to the addition of the vial contents, the culture vessel containing the complete growth medium be placed into the incubator for at least 15 minutes to allow the medium to reach its normal pH (7. 0 to 7. 6). Incubate the culture at 33°C in a suitable incubator. A 5% CO2 in air atmosphere is recommended if using the medium described on this product sheet. |
