For samples 3 and 5 we had to repeat step 5 (centrifugation to remove cell debris) because the cell pellet got aspired in the pipette while trying to transfer the supernantant into fresh tubes.

Cell counting Given our cell density we used a 12x dilution (table). We transfered 6 samples of cells into a 96 well plate, added Trypan blue and analysed each sample with Countess.

Protocol (add to separate page):

  1. Centrifugation of the cell samples at 2500xg for 10min. Discard the supernatant (vacuum).
  2. Washing: Resuspend the pellet in PBS1x, centrifuge at 2500xg for 10min, discard supernatant.
  3. Add at least 1mL PER-M Reagent for 100mg (~100µl) of cell pellet. Pipette up and down to suspend.
  4. Shake gently for 10min.
  5. Remove cell bedris by centrifugation: ~1400xg for 15min
  6. Transfer the supernatant into new tubes for analysis or storage.
  • Samples where taken from odd numbered tubes : 1,3,5,7.
  • We used 300µl of M-PER Reagent based on the size of our pellets.
  • Maximum centrifugation was 10'600xg.
