Product Description
SK-N-BE(2) Cell Line | EP-CL-0441 | Elabscience
Background: The cells exhibit moderate levels of dopamine beta hydroxylase activity.SK-N-BE(2) cells have a reported saturation density greater than 1×10^6 cells/cm^2.The morphology of the cells varies with some cells having long processes and others that are epithelioid like.The cells will aggregate, form clumps and float.
Species: Homo sapiens, Human

Subculturing: Remove and discard culture medium. These cells grow as a mixture of floating and adherent cells. Sometimes many cells are floating, they can be harvested by centrifugation of medium instead of discarding it. Add 1.0 to 2.0 mL of 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin-0.53mM EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 2 to 3 minutes). Add 4.0 to 6.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels. Incubate cultures at 37°C.
Ratio: 1:2-1:4
Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
