Stock solution preparation
It is best to prepare a few tubes with the required amount of FETAL BOVINE SERUM (FBS) and Penicilin Streptomycin (Pen-Strep), and store them in the freezer. Each time only unfreeze the small tubes, instead of the whole bottle. As for 500 ml DMEM, it requires 50 mL (or 10%) of FBS and 5 mL (or 1%) of Penicilin Streptomycin (Pen-Strep).
FETAL BOVINE SERUM (FBS)
- Use 75% antibac ethanol alcohol to spray both hands with gloves, then the surface of the FBS bottle, the surface of 25 ml Serological Pipette, a few of 50 ml conical tube, and place them inside the LAF fume hood.
- Inside the LAF hood, completely loose the conical tube caps and placed them in frame holder. Transfer 51 ml FBS into each conical tube, and tighten the caps.
- Label each conical tube:
50 mL FBS, dd/mm/yy, name
- Store tubes in the freezer.
Penicilin Streptomycin (Pen-Strep)
- Use 75% antibac ethanol alcohol to spray both hands with gloves, then the surface of the FBS bottle, the surface of 25 ml Serological Pipette, a few of 15 ml conical tube, and place them inside the LAF fume hood.
- Inside the LAF hood, completely loose the conical tube caps and placed them in frame holder. Transfer 5.5 ml Pen-Strep into each conical tube, and tighten the caps.
