Expand cells for one passage, then seed for spheroid generation (3D culture). Subculture Protocol:Aspirate the supernatant and wash cells with 1X PBS (pH 7.4) (G5000). Dissociate cells using 1–1.5 ml of Gentle Dissociation Solution (TM080). Observe the cells under a microscope to confirm detachment (typically within 2–10 minutes). Cells that are difficult to detach can be put in 37 °C for several minutes to facilitate detachment.Neutralize using an equal volume of complete growth media (must contain serum) or using Trypsin Neutralizing Solution (TM069).Transfer culture suspension into sterile conical centrifuge tube (G5500), and centrifuge at 125 x g for 5 minutes. The actual centrifuge duration and speed may vary depending on the cell type.Aspirate supernatant and re-suspend the pellet with pre-warmed fresh complete growth media for 3D Culture. Spheroid Generation Protocol:Count cells and viability using cell counter or hemocytometer with Trypan Blue Stain (TM071). Proceed if cells are \u0026gt;90% viability.Seed 500 to 10,000 cells per well in SpheroWell™ 96 Well Plate (G7540), final volume maintained at 100 μl per well. Avoid cell clumps (clumps will not generate uniform spheroids). Count as Day 0. Tip: Fill the outermost wells of the plate with 1X PBS (pH 7.4) (G5000) to prevent evaporation of media during incubation.(Recommended) Centrifuge the sealed plate at 300 x g for 5 minutes.Place in the incubator set at 37 °C, 5% CO₂. Change Media:Every 2–3 days, add 100 μl of fresh media slowly along the wall of the well to avoid disrupting spheroids at the bottom.Take out 100 μl of media slowly and discard from the well.(Recommended, but optional) Centrifuge the sealed plate at 300 x g for 5 minutes. Monitor the Cells for 3D\/Spheroid Formation:Spheroid formation will appear between day 5 and 10.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Applied Biological Materials (abm) Inc.","offers":[{"title":"1x10\u003csup\u003e6\u003c\/sup\u003e cells \/ 1.0 ml","offer_id":53180542878061,"sku":"T9145","price":290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/vuSN8F5hyFOzhB2R5TcObQjTwBqI6ZZ7MfT8eUh7.png?v=1774957860","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/hacat-cells-bhc10902176","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
