Cell Line Origin
Mouse C3H muscle myoblast
Cell Line Description
Subclone from myoblast line established from normal adult C3H mouse leg muscle. Differentiates rapidly; produces extensive contracting myotubes expressing characteristic muscle proteins. Provides model to study in vitro myogenesis and cell differentiation.
Application
Subculture Routine
Split semi-confluent cultures 1:3 to 1:6 i.e. seeding at 1-2x1,000 cells/cm2 using 0.25% Trypsin or Trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37°C. Do not allow cells to reach confluence.

How many Cell Line cells are in the vial?
1 answer-
Each vial of cells contains 2-3 x 106 cells in 1 ml of freezing media. This is in a 1.8 mL ampule. For exceptionally large cells, counts may decrease. Suspension cells, generally smaller cells, may contain as many as 4-5 x 106 cells/vial to assure optimal viability upon thaw.

How do I handle Cell Line frozen cells upon arrival?
1 answer-
Upon receipt, frozen ampules should be transferred directly to vapor phase liquid nitrogen without delay (-135°C) or liquid phase liquid nitrogen if vapor phase is not available. DO NOT use a -80°C freezer as an alternative; this will result in loss of viability.

What medium should I use when I thaw the Cell Line cells?
1 answer-
The medium for each cell line is listed on the product page. It is specific to each cell line. If not visible on the Sigma-Aldrich website product page, the HPA website also contains the same information (www.hpacultures.org.uk). The product number for the cell line is the same on either site.

Why is Vapor Phase Liquid Nitrogen preferred for storage of Cell Line cells?
1 answer-
If ampules are immersed into liquid phase of liquid nitrogen, it increases the risk of the liquid seeping into the vial. This could lead to problems of cross-contamination and increased risk of the ampule exploding when thawed.
