i am using only Ham's-12 but its not working. After 2-3 days granularity increases both intracellular and extracellular and cells become unhealthy. What should I do to remove granularity for healthy cells? kindly give some suggestions.
Usually most of the suppliers cite DMEM-F12 1:1 media to grow Sh SY5Y with L-glutammine and additioned with pen/strepto and FBS/FCS 10%. Personally I use just DMEM since that is the medium used by the group who provides me the cells. I keep that protocol to maintain cells phenotype. I would suggest also to perform an MTT test and trypan blue count to check cellular viability after any change of the protocol.
