Culture Conditions

Subculture Routine

Maintain cultures at 3-9 x 100,000/ml, 37°C, 5% CO₂. COR L303 cells are very slow growing with a population doubling of approximately 5 days. Cells grow as very large clumps in suspension. At each subculture cells should be centrifuged at 100g for 5min then the pellet dispersed by repeated pipetting to break up the colonies. Without this step the colonies become very large with many necrotic cells in the centre.

Culture Medium

RPM1 1640 + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) + 2mM Glutamine.

Growth Mode

Aggregates in suspension

The Culture Collections represent deposits of cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by Culture Collections are accurate, Culture Collections cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics.
