Hi, everybdy!
I've done soft agar assay for several times. However, I've got a trouble that cells in the top agar cells adhered to the plate unexpectedly a few days after I seeded the cells .

The following was My protocol.
1. Prepare 0.5% base agar layer and store the plate at 4°C.let it sit at room temp for 30 min before using.
2. Prepare 0.6% top agarose solution
3. Harvest and count cells
4. Respend the appropriate number of cells in top agar . Final concentration of top agarose solution was 0.3%.
5. Incubate for 10-30 days and feed cells 2 times a week.

Did anybody have experiences?
What's the reason for the phenomenon that cells in the top agar cells adhered to the plate unexpectedly?

what sort of cells you are using?
