Notes:
A technique has been developed for the selective detachment of mitotic cells from monolayer cultures of Chiness hamster cells with a simple reciprocating shaking machine. Cultures prepared by the shake treatment and placed in spinner flasks are routinely obtained, in which the mitotic fraction drops from 0.95-0.05 in 19 minutes. Some properties of mitotic cells prepared by this technique are described, along with a simple procedure for producing large quantities of mitotic cells. Cells chilled immediately after collection from a series of shake treatments complete mitosis synchronously upon subsequent resuspension in warm medium.
