MA-104 Cells

Monkey cell lines

For long-term preservation, place vials in vapor-phase liquid nitrogen at about -150 to -196 °C. Storage at -80 °C is acceptable only as a short interim step before transfer to liquid nitrogen.

Supplement the medium with 10% FBS and 1% NEAA

2 to 3 times per week

Confirm that the vial remains deeply frozen upon delivery, as cells are shipped on dry ice to maintain optimal temperatures during transit.

Upon receipt, either store the cryovial immediately at temperatures below -150° C to ensure the preservation of cellular integrity, or proceed to step 3 if immediate culturing is required.

For immediate culturing, swiftly thaw the vial by immersing it in a 37° C water bath with clean water and an antimicrobial agent, agitating gently for 40-60 seconds until a small ice clump remains.

Perform all subsequent steps under sterile conditions in a flow hood, disinfecting the cryovial with 70% ethanol before opening.

Carefully open the disinfected vial and transfer the cell suspension into a 15 ml centrifuge tube containing 8 ml of room-temperature culture medium, mixing gently.

Centrifuge the mixture at 300 x g for 3 minutes to separate the cells and carefully discard the supernatant containing residual freezing medium.

Gently resuspend the cell pellet in 10 ml of fresh culture medium. For adherent cells, divide the suspension between two T25 culture flasks; for suspension cultures, transfer all the medium into one T25 flask to promote effective cell interaction and growth.

Adhere to established subculture protocols for continued growth and maintenance of the cell line, ensuring reliable experimental outcomes.

A CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) certificate is required to export this article to your country. CITES oversees trade in specific species globally to ensure their protection and sustainability. Our company, as the exporter, will handle the CITES certificate application on your behalf. The process typically takes 2-4 weeks and incurs an additional fee.
