Does anyone have any tips on how not to lose cells after
ETOH fixation . I have heard from a number of our users that they
start out fixing 2x10E6 cells/tube and see a pellet after the
first spin, but after a long procedure (like Oncor Apoptag) they
seem to have almost nothing left. They use polypropylene tubes, and
have notice a slight increase in retained cells by using FCS in the
wash media, but the numbers are still terrible. Im pretty sure the
loss is in the centrifuge steps- any suggestions?
