General description

Cell freezing or cryopreservation of cell culture is a routine process. It is essential to maintain the cellular integrity during storage. Majorly used cryoprotectants include glycerol, ethylene glycol and dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO).[1]

Application

Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO 1× has been used in the cryopreservation of human embryonic kidney HEK293 CNR2 cells,[2] blood mononuclear cells[3] and prostate cancer cells.[4]

Other Notes

Complete ready-to-use medium. Proprietary formulation with Minimum Essential Medium, dimethyl sulfoxide, calf serum and fetal bovine serum.

Questions

1–7 of 7 Questions  
  1. Good day will the cell- freezing medium - DMSO be suitable for freezing of human gingival fibroblsts? can they be stored in -80 freezer or rather in liquid nitrogen with this freezer medium?

    1 answer
    1. While not specifically tested on gingival fibroblasts, this product is tested using mulitple mammalian cell lines. There is no reason to suspect that this product would not be suitable. For frozen cell stocks, the recommended maximum temperature is -70°C. Liquid nitrogen (-80°C) is a typical medium for this product. Please see the link below to review the product datasheet, which includes a brief protocol for freezing and thawing cells using this product:
