If you are embarking in growing ES cells, be prepared to refeed
them DAILY.  All procedures should be carried out using sterile
techniques.  The growth and maintenance media for ES cells is M15

MEM
(no pyruvate, high glucose) 15% FBS, 1X GPS, 1XBME.  Handling ES cells:
growth, maintenance, passing, freezing and thawing is conducted in a
manner to protect and maintain the quality of the cells and keep them in 7 S+ T' g) o& R7 o1 Q/ H8 T
a pluripotential state.  Serum quality is critical for successful growth
of ES cells and especially true for blastocysts.  The quality of the $ X" H. w+ C& L$ y; P1 }
feeders is very instrumental.  Remember also that in passing, freezing,
and electroporating ES cells; it is best that the cells are still at
exponential growth (80% confluence) for optimal results.1 y) A6 T, d0 K. c2 ~# H

and plate out cells in a 6-cm feeder plate.

5. Refeed cells daily with fresh M15.  Upon 80-85% confluence, cells
need to be passage or freeze.  (M15 media:  DMEM, 15% FBS, 1X GPS, 1XBME)( ?5 W" C0 j* B* n

PASSAGE OF ES CELLS

ES cells typically should be passaged every 2-4 days (apart from colonies * l+ C2 v: A& v+ J* S, U
under selection).  If passaging is neglected the cells will differentiate
and you will select for variants that might have lost totipotency.  Cells 6 ]4 ^( }+ h* X% ?8 y6 u
must be fed when media begins to turn orange.  Yellow media (acid pH) is
very bad for ES cells and should be avoided at all costs.  If you are / w# x( v* R* l% p: M
planning to passage and believe that the cells might turn yellow
overnight feed last thing in the evening and again the next morning
before passaging.  DO NOT PASSAGE CELLS WHEN MEDIA IS YELLOW.

7. Determine the number of feeder plates you need, depending upon
the passage you are doing.  Add fresh media, M15 to the feeder plates (to
1 x 6-cm feeder dish: 6 mls of media; 1 x 10-cm feeder:  12 mls of   Y& \3 ]: |- y
media).  Split ratios for ES cells can vary from 1:1 to 1:10.  Do not
exceed 1:10.
The area relationships for the various dishes are as follows:

1:5 = 1 x 24 well to 1 x 30 mm (6-well plate)
1:6 = 1 x 96 well to 1 x 24 well

8. Aliquot the cell suspension into plates in the volume specified
for each plate.  Remember to use Feeder plates.  Always check the feeders
before using them.  They should be confluent, no gaps, not contaminated
and not dividing.  Use feeders that are older, (1-2 weeks old), the
advantages are many:  any contamination is assessed, also any dividing
run-away cells can be detected, and the passage will be earlier.  Also,
older feeders have settled nicely and flattened.
