Relatively new to splitting cells in tissue culture. I am splitting cells on Monday and Fridays, with a 1:10 split.

My current advised protocol (just for amounts) is as follows:

1) Remove spent media from T25 flask containing cells

2) Add 5-10ml PBS, swirl to wash

3) Remove all PBS

4) Add 2ml TrypLe and ensure complete coverage

5) Incubate for 2-5 minutes

6) Remove T25 flask from incubator and take 200ul from old T25 flask and put into new T25 flask

7) Add 5ml media

8) Incubate until next split

I just wanted to make sure this protocol is correct in terms of the amounts, I have done this a couple times so far and cells seem to still be alive etc. The concept isn't complicated however I seem to find it difficult to get my head around sometimes.
