Return to Lidstrom Protocols

Day 1: Harvest Cells

  • For growing cells, 1-2 doublings suggested, 0.6~0.8 OD600, for my barely utilizing cells, Yanfen suggest 50-100 mL
  1. Label 50 mL falcon tubes
  2. Setup Filtration Equipment
    • Filtration setup with vacuum flask (see pictures below)
    • Filters, Nylaflow, Nylon Membrane Filter 0.2 um, 90 mm, P/N 66603 [Pall Life Sciences]
    • Flat-tipped tweezers
    • Liquid nitrogen in Dewar
  3. Put a new filter in the setup
  4. Start vacuum
  5. Pour ~25 mL sterile filtered water through the filter
  6. Pour from a tube or pipet samples onto the center of the filter. It should take ~30 sec to filter samples
  7. Once sample is filtered. Expose filter and fold into quarters with the tweezers.
  8. Put folded filter into a clean, labelled 50 mL Falcon tube
  9. Close tube and flash freeze in liquid Nitrogen.
  10. Repeat for each sample.
  • Pause Point: Samples can be stored at -80 deg C at this point.
  1. Replace caps on frozen tubes with ones that have holes punched in them.
  2. Lyophilize for 8 hrs or overnight (this can be cut shorter if needed, but we do longer just to be safe)
