How do you perform the FBS screening for the Bhas 42 CTA?

27 September 2021 0 2K Report

A FBS screening should be done to find a suitable batch that doesn’t push Bhas 42 cells to spontaneous transformation. We bought the cells and we need to thaw and spread them in order to test FBS, but, in its turn, FBS has to be used for that. How do you deal with this?
