What is subculturing?
Subculturing is the process of transferring cells from one culture vessel to another to maintain their growth and viability.
Why is it important to passage cells?
Passaging cells prevents overcrowding, which can lead to reduced growth and cell death.
What types of cells can be subcultured?
Both adherent and suspension cells can be subcultured using specific techniques.
How often should cells be passaged?
Cells should be passaged regularly, depending on their growth rate and confluency.
What tools are needed for subculturing?
Common tools include pipettes, culture flasks, and trypsin for detaching adherent cells.
