1. Check all containers for leakage or breakage.
2. Remove the frozen cells from the dry ice packaging and immediately place the cells at a temperature below ­-130°C, preferably in liquid nitrogen vapor, until ready for use.

The base medium for this cell line is HyCell TransFx-H. To make the complete medium add these products to the base medium:

• 10 mL L-glutamine (ATCC 30-2214) to a final concentration of 4mM
• 1 mL poloxamer 188 (Fisher Scientific cat # MT13901CI or Corning cat # 13901CI) to a final concentration of 0.2% 

1. 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).
2. 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.
3. 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 7 minutes.
4. Carefully aspirate the supernatant and discard, leaving the cell pellet.
5. Gently resuspend the cell pellet in fresh pre-warmed complete growth medium, and transfer cell suspension into a vented, non-baffled shaker flask. Cells should be seeded at a density of 5 x 10⁵ cells/mL.
6. Place the flask in a 37°C shaking incubator (120 to 130 rpm) with 5-8% CO₂.

1. Seed at 5 x 10⁵cells/mL for a 2 day subculture and 4 x 10⁵ cells/mL for a 3 day subculture (weekend).
2. To maintain high cell viability, prior to seeding, centrifuge cells for 5min at 170x g.
3. Discard spent media and re-suspend cell pellet in pre-warmed fresh complete growth media.
4. Pipette cells gently to break aggregates.
5. Add the cell suspension to a non-baffled, vented flask.
6. Place the flask in a 37°C shaking incubator (120 to 130 rpm) with 5-8% CO₂.
