20230228 Inventory

02/16 from ovaries

  • 2 flasks
  • Lots of debris in these flasks, more in one than the other
  • The pieces of the ovaries look a little intact
  • Maybe it is too soon to tell with these
  • Want to fluid exchange these

02/23 from ovaries

  • 2 flasks
  • Lots of debris in the flask that had the flow through from the sieve, the other has less debris
  • The pieces of the ovaries look a little intact again
  • Maybe it is too soon to tell with these
  • Want to fluid exchange these

02/01 and 01/31

  • 2 flasks each
  • Some clumps of cells have settled down on the plastic
  • Not much has grown yet, might be to early to expect much
  • Want to fluid exchange these

02/09 from 05/02

  • 2 flasks
  • Precipitate is in these flasks
  • But some clumps of cells have settled, but no growth from them yet
  • Want to fluid exchange these

02/09 from 10/4

  • 2 flasks
  • Not sure what is going on in these flasks, there do seem to be a lot of cells, but they don’t seem to be like growing out from each other, they are spaced somewhat apart
  • Want to fluid exchange these

10/04

  • 1 flask
  • Was slightly scraped on 02/09
  • It still looks like there are tons of cells in this flask, but I’m not sure if they are dead cells/debris or growing
  • Want to try scraping up this flask and putting it into 2 new ones

02/09 from 12/14 and 12/13

  • 3 flasks
  • Doesn’t look like there are any alive cells, throw out

09/27

  • 1 flask
  • Lots of alive looking clumps of cells, but many are floating
  • One area has a good spot of growing out cells
  • Wanting to try to fluid change this flask, but put the fluid into something like a 12 well plate where maybe the clumps will settle better?

10/04

  • 1 flask
  • A couple of areas of good, growing out cells, but not enough yet to try to make a second passage
  • Want to fluid change this flask

12/13

  • 1 flask
  • A couple of areas of settled growing cells
  • Lots of clumps that are floating
  • Want to try putting fluid from this flask into a 12 well plate

08/18

  • 1 flask
  • Basically seems like nothing is alive in this flask
  • Thrown out

12/14

  • 1 flask
  • Lots of clumps of cells that aren’t settled
  • Want to try putting fluid from this flask into a 12 well plate

08/11

  • 2 flasks
  • All cells seem to be dead
  • Thrown out

09/20

  • 2 flasks
  • 1 flask has a nice area of growing out cells
  • Want to fluid change that flask
  • The other flask doesn’t have anything growing or alive looking, this flask was thrown out

01/18 from 09/13

  • 2 flasks
  • 1 flask has an area of growing out cells
  • Want to fluid change that flask
  • The other flask doesn’t have anything alive in it, thrown out
  • The original 09/13 flask doesn’t really look like anything is alive in it anymore but I’ll keep it for a bit longer and fluid change it

01/12

  • 2 flasks
  • 1 flask looks really great with lots of areas of growing stringy cells
  • This flask I want to scrape and make a second passage
  • The other flask does not have that much growth but seems ok
  • This flask with just get a fluid change

01/13

  • 2 flasks
  • Basically it doesn’t seem like any cells are alive
  • Thrown out

02/09

  • 1 flask
  • Cells seem alive, but they just haven’t settled to the bottom of the flask
  • Want to try putting fluid from this flask into a 12 well plate

09/27

  • 1 flask
  • Some nice areas of growing out cells
  • A lot of floating cells too
  • Want to try putting fluid from this flask into a 12 well plate

01/14 and 01/25

  • 2 flasks each
  • Not a lot of clumps of cells, but it might be to early to tell on these
  • Want to fluid change these flasks
