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.

Application

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

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.

Hepatocyte Culture

Hepatocytes are epithelial cells found in the liver. They perform important functions, such as helping to detoxify blood, and to synthesize transport proteins, such as lipoprotein, albumin and transferrin. Primary and secondary cultures of hepatocytes are useful for studying the mechanisms of liver regeneration and differentiation.
