What does passaging mean in cell culture?
Posted December 15, 2020

Answer

Passaging, or sub-culturing, cells is a key part of cell culture. When a cell culture reaches confluency it must be removed from its current medium and transferred to new culture vessels supplemented with fresh growth medium. This ensures that cells stay at an optimal density for continued growth and proliferation.
