Can I freeze the 96-well Nucleocuvette® Plates?

Yes. Freezing of the plates at -20°C does not alter their properties.
Missing: mycoalert

Is it possible to pre-plate substrates when using the 96-well Shuttle® for Nucleofection®?

Yes, pre-plating of substrates like siRNA and subsequent storage at -20°C is possible.

PyroTec Pro: How many plates can be processed with the instrument?

The system can accommodate up to two independent microplates on a single run of the instrument.

Can I plate cells at a higher initial concentration than the Clonetics™ and Poietics™ plating protocol recommends? What is the minimum dilution of DMSO most cells can tolerate?

Lonza's recommended plating density for primary cells is established for two main reasons: To ensure residual DMSO is sufficiently diluted while cells are initially attaching and To allow a maximum number of population doublings per passage...

How long is the MycoAlert® Mycoplasma Detection Assay signal stable?

Please follow the protocol exactly as written – add reagent, wait 5 min and read, add substrate, wait 10 minutes and read again.

How much sample do you need for accurate results with MycoAlert® and MycoAlert® PLUS Mycoplasma Detection Kits? Do you need cells or just supernatant?

The standard protocol calls for taking 2 ml of culture media, spinning down any cells and removing 100 µl of supernatant. Smaller initial aliquots of media may be taken to start with if necessary.

I tested my cell culture supernatant negative for mycoplasma contamination using the MycoAlert® Mycoplasma Detection Kit or the MycoAlert® PLUS Mycoplasma Detection Kit. But when I tested the same cells using a PCR-based Assay, I obtained a positive result.

It is possible that the PCR is picking up dead mycoplasma whereas the MycoAlert® and MycoAlert® Plus Assay will pick up only viable mycoplasma. It is possible of course that there is contamination in the PCR giving a false positive.

What temperature should the ToxiLight™, ViaLight™ and MycoAlert™ Assays be run at?

The optimal working temperature for all reagents is 22°C.If reagents have been refrigerated always allow time for them to reach room temperature before use.
Missing: plate

Can plate dilutions schemes be transferred to WinKQCL™ Software if contained in a LIMS?

Yes, this information can be pulled from a LIMS if available. For example, an export created in CSV can be exported back into LIMS.

Do the Clonetics™ Rat and Mouse Astrocytes require an extracellular matrix for plating?

No, they simply need to be seeded onto tissue culture treated plastic. For best performance, we recommend to use positively charged plasticware
