PC12 cells easily form clumps, is there a way to prevent this clumping ?
Thanks,
Gloria
You can consider supplementing your culture with 0.5 to 1 mM sodium pyruvate.
It reduces cell clustering and uneven growth, based on lab observations.

I'm trying to quantify the amount of DNA in adherent cells, does anyone have a good protocol for cell lysis to prepare samples for Picogreen DNA assay? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Gloria
