Tech Note: Culturing Primary Chick Embryo Cells On A Thermo Scientific Nunc Nunclon Cell Culture Treated Surface
Termo Scientific Nunc Nunclon cell culture products are tested for cell growth and plating efficiency using several different cell lines.
Nunc™ Nunclon™ products are tested with two cell lines L929, HEL 299 or F2002 and one Primary Chick Embryo (PCE) cell culture for monolayer formation, plus cell line V79-4 for cloning efficiency.
Primary Chick Embryo cells are used to assess primary cell growth. This Tech Note describes a procedure for culturing cells isolated from chick embryos on a Nunclon treated surface.
