Monitoring Cell Line Health and Re-Seeding

Description

Cell line health and re-seeding are key parts of keeping cells ready for biomedical experiments. Cell lines grow quickly, so they can be expanded for experimental analysis more easily than freshly isolated, or primary, cells. They are often cultured under similar conditions to primary cells, but they still need their own spe...

Transcript

Passaging, or subculturing, of cells, is a common procedure wherein cells from a given culture are divided, or “split”, into new cultures and fed with fresh media to facilitate further expansion. While the concept itself is relatively simple, in this video we will discuss some of the more important steps for the s...
