Should the skeletal muscle cells be split after adding the Differentiation Medium (C-23061)?
After adding the Skeletal Muscle Cell Differentiation Medium, myoblasts will start to differentiate into myotubes and stop growing. The cells should not be split anymore. It is recommended rather to plate the SkMC into the needed vessels, (e.g. multiwell plates), prior to induction of differentiation and to perform studies directly on differentiated cells. If it is necessary for your tests to detach the myotubes and they are difficult to trypsinze, you can use a "rubber policeman".
