Is there any way to decontaminate HEp 2 cells?

10 September 2015 1 3K Report

I have contaminated HEp2 cells -how should I decontaminate them? is there any way?

Difficult. First determine if it's bacteria or fugi. Try use 0.1 mg/ml ampicillin in your medium in bacterial contamination and change medium every day for three days in a roll. Good luck.
