Take 200 uL and plate it (in 10 mL media); add 10 uL cell suspension and 90 uL DMEM to petri dish 6. Centrifuge 3 minutes at 1000 rpm 7. Aspirate media **Do the next steps fast! 8. Prepare a fresh tube with 6 mL of 5%DMSO in DMEM; try to find DMSO in Alan’s box or next to tryp LE 9. Resuspend the cells in 5 mL and aliquot 1 mL into each vial 10. Initials, Date, Cell Line, Passage; top and side 11. Put into Mr. Frosty; Transfer to -80 12. Next day transfer to liquid nitrogen tank for long-term storage (ask Chris about a box, we use rack 1)
