At which passage should I induce differentiation of skeletal muscle cells (SkMCs)?
For efficient differentiation of PromoCell Skeletal Muscle Cells (SkMCs) into myotubes, we recommend using cells that have undergone a maximum of 4-5 population doublings. This corresponds to no more than one additional subculturing step after thawing the original vial. Using cells at early population doublings helps ensure robust differentiation and reliable results. For detailed differentiation protocols and handling recommendations, please refer to the Instruction Manual for PromoCell Skeletal Muscle Cell Media.
