Dear all,

What could these things be in a clean mammalian cell media? Yeast? Mycoplasma colonies? Media components sedimenting?

They are as big or a little bigger than lymphocyte cells. No organelles are visible, these oval things are very smooth and of different size. I am hesitant to use this media because it much more orange than the other vial of same media I made on the same day. It has been filtered through double 0.2 um filter.

I made a cell media and set up a mock plate with all medias I made and cells to monitor whether there is any contamination.

After 5 days, this media is not turbid, cells are growing well in it.

Not sure if these things are dividing.

I will submit it for mycoplasma testing.

What could it be though? Any ideas?

Thanks,

Maria
