I do culture the cells till confluent. then make the scratch and wash 2 times with media.
But still there are many floating cells in the wound.
Is there any special care or way to remove those cells.?
Hi Sumit,
If the floating cells may be impacting your assay, you could try giving your culture an extra wash or two with media or PBS (gently).
It may be that these cells are sloughing off from your culture plate because of high confluency, or poor attachment, so another option might be to perform the scratch at slightly lower confluency, or to try a different coating on your cell culture plate/flask
What works best will depend greatly on the cell line though, as there is a lot of variability in adherence between human cell lines.
I hope this helps some,
Good luck with your experiments!
Mike
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your kind and helpful reply. I got the hold on the cells in last couple of culture.
Have a good day and good luck to you too
Sumit.
Thanks,
I'm glad to hear that you got things working! I'd be interested to know what you did to solve the problem?
Mike
