How do I use Biolaminin for cell culture?
- Prepare the coating solution:
Dilute the thawed Biolaminin stock solution with 1x DPBS according to the instructions IN-001. - Coat the cultureware:
Add the diluted Biolaminin solution to tissue culture-treated cultureware. Seal the cultureware (e.g., with Parafilm®) to prevent evaporation. - Incubation options:
- Incubate at +2°C to +8°C overnight.
- For faster coating, incubate at +37°C for 2 hours.
- Cell culture:
Before seeding cells, remove the excess coating solution. No washing is required. Add the cell suspension directly to the Biolaminin-coated surface. For general PSC culture guidelines, see Instructions IN-003. - Storage of coated plates:
If not used immediately, store coated plates and any remaining diluted coating solution at +2°C to +8°C for up to 4 weeks.
Note: Do not let the coated surface dry, as this will inactivate the laminin coating.
Following these steps ensures an optimal environment for your cell culture applications.
