Thawing and Expanding ES clones from 96-well plates

Have fresh ES media and a 24-well plate with enough wells for your targeted clones with feeders prepared.

1.    Take the 96-well plates from the -80 C freezer and place directly into the 37oC incubator.  Allow the cells to thaw completely. (~10-15 min.)
2.    After the plate has thawed, remove the entire contents of the 96-well plate and place in one well of a 24-well plate. 
3.    Pipette up and down 2-3X to dissociate and spread the cells out.
4.    Do not feed cells until you begin to see colonies growing in you wells.  This could take 2-3 days.
