Q:

I thawed and plated my ampoule of Clonetics™ Cells yesterday and most of the cells are floating. What happened?

A:

Clonetics™ Cells will not be confluent on day one.

After 24 hours, you will see few attached cells per field under the microscope. Aspirate off the media and the floating cells and replace with fresh, pre-warmed media. Those attached cells will begin to proliferate and a confluent monolayer should be established in 5 –10 days.
