Cultures can be maintained by addition of fresh medium. Alternatively, cultures can be established by centrifugation with subsequent resuspension at 1 x 105 viable cells/mL. Maintain cultures at a cell concentration between 1 x 105 and 1 x 106 cells/mL. Do not allow the cell concentration to exceed 1 x 106 cells/ml.
Medium Renewal: Two times a week.
