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.
Missing: mycoalert

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 I also use the Lucetta® 2 Luminometer for other assays besides the MycoAlert® Mycoplasma Detection Assay?

Yes. In addition to the tailor-made MycoAlert® Mode it also has a "Single Read" mode which is suited for unprocessed luminescence readings, e.g. ATP-based cell proliferation or cytotoxicity assays, or Luciferase reporter gene assays.
Missing: plate

What plate format is the protocol for culturing Lonza's Osteoclast Precursor (OCP) cells written for?

The protocol for culturing Lonza's Osteoclast Precursor (OCP) cells written for plating cells into a 96-well plate.
