Subculturing involves transferring cultured cells into fresh culture vessels to provide nutrients and space for continuous growth. It involves removing old media, washing plates, enzymatically dissociating adhered cells, and diluting the suspension into fresh media. Subculturing is necessary to maintain cell viability as cells consume nutrients over time and stagnate without fresh media. Cryopreservation preserves cells by storing them at ultra-low temperatures near liquid nitrogen, halting physical and biochemical reactions for long-term storage. Cell culture has many applications including use as disease models, cancer research, virology studies, toxicity testing, tissue engineering, vaccine production, monoclonal antibody production, and drug screening.
