Do I have to adjust my infection parameters when using Diploid Production Serum-Free Medium (SFM)?
We recommend evaluating performance with Diploid Production Serum-Free Medium using current conditions, however, multiplicity of infection, time of infection, and time of harvest may be different than with conventional media. Closely monitor cells for cytopathic effect and evaluate viral titers at multiple time points.
Can I freeze or thaw my cells in Diploid Growth Serum-Reduced Medium (SRM)?
Most diploid cell lines can be frozen and thawed in Diploid Growth Serum-Reduced Medium. Consult the Diploid Growth Serum Reduced Medium User Guide (https://assets.thermofisher.com/TFS-Assets/LSG/manuals/MAN0019015_DiploidGrowthSerumReducedMedium_UG.pdf) for additional information.
How do I adapt my cells to Diploid Growth Serum-Reduced Medium (SRM)?
Cells growing in medium with serum can be transferred directly to Diploid Growth Serum-Reduced Medium without adaptation. Continue to monitor and passage cells for 2-3 passages until consistent growth is achieved. Cultures may benefit from supplementation with 1-2% serum.
