subculture or splitting cells
 Pass aging
 (also known as subculture or splitting cells) involves transferring a 
small number of cells into a new vessel. Cells can be cultured for a 
longer time if they are split regularly, as it avoids the senescence 
associated with prolonged high cell density. Suspension cultures are 
easily passaged with a small amount of culture containing a few cells 
diluted in a larger volume of fresh media. For adherent cultures, cells 
first need to be detached; this is commonly done with a mixture of 
trypsin-EDTA; however, other enzyme mixes are now available for this 
purpose. A small number of detached cells can then be used to seed a new
 culture.
