General description

Cell freezing medium is a combination of cryoprotectant DMSO with fetal bovine serum. However serum free medium replaces serum with methylcellulose and poloxamer 188 and other additives like ascorbic acid, α-tocopherol and proline.[1]

Application

Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free 1x has been used in the freezing of human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs),[2] olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs)[3] and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells.[4]

Other Notes

Complete ready-to-use medium containing Minimum Essential Medium, dimethyl sulfoxide (8.7%) and methyl cellulose. Prepared according to the formulation of Waymouth[5].

Questions

  1. Is it possible to thaw this product, prepare aliquots and store them at -20 degrees for further use? Thank you.

    1 answer
    1. The stability of this material following multiple freeze/thaw cycles indicates that a fine precipitate may be evident. However, the performance of the material was is effected. While it is recommended to use this product within 5 days of the initial thaw, it would be up to the end user to continue use following refreezing.
