Given the information provided, please answer the following question: Volume of cell suspension needed (for 5 x 104 cells): __________________microliters (µL)

 

Determine the number of cells you have per ml of your cell suspension.
Number of cells counted in quadrant 1 =
46
Number of cells counted in quadrant 2 =
38
Number of cells counted in quadrant 3 =
56
Number of cells counted in quadrant 4 =
38
TOTAL number of cells for ALL 4 quadrants =
178
Number of cells per ml will equal:
[(total # of cells counted) divided by 4] X 104 =,
scientific notation)
_445,000_
cells/ml (use
B. Setting up a new culture of cells
1. You will need to determine the volume of your cell suspension needed to obtain 5 x 10^4 cells.
Use the value for cells per ml you determined above in Part A.
Example: If your cells per ml = 2 x 105
5 x 104 cells
= 0.25 ml, or 250 ul suspension
2 x 105 cells/ml
5 x 10^4 cells
0.12235955
= Volume of cell suspension needed:
mL
cells/mL
Volume of cell suspension needed (for 5 x 104 cells):
_microliters (uL)
These cells will be used to prepare "protein lysate" for western blot.
