Cryo-preservation is a process where cells, tissues, or any other biological constructs are preserved by cooling to very low temperatures, typically in liquid nitrogen at -196 degrees Celsius. This technique is used to maintain the viability of cells for long periods. Human Mammary Epithelial Cells (HMEC) are often used in research, including breast cancer studies.…

“Aspirating the supernatant” is a term used in laboratory protocols and refers to the process of removing the liquid portion (supernatant) that lies above a pellet of cells or other solid material in a tube or flask after centrifugation or sedimentation. Here’s a general outline of the process: Aspirating the supernatant is a common step…

A cell pellet is a concentrated collection of cells that has been collected together, typically through the process of centrifugation. In the lab, scientists often need to separate cells from their growth medium or other substances, such as blood or bodily fluids. This is frequently done using a centrifuge. Here’s a general outline of the…
