Detailed Description
Serum-free RPMI based cryopreservation media for adherent and suspension cultured cells. Sterile and endotoxin tested. Suitable for use in environments that prohibit the use of animal-derived products.
Viability of post-thaw cultures of K562 cells.
Figure 1. Cells frozen in AMRESCO SeraFree™ Cryoprotection Media (

) exhibited higher recovery than cells frozen in traditional RPMI freezing media containing DMSO and serum (

). Viability of cells recovering from cryopreservation in AMRESCO SeraFree™ Cryoprotection Media was comparable or better than that of cells in Competitors 1 (

) and 2 (

) serum-free freezing media. Viability was determined by standard trypan-blue exclusion assay.
Performance of AMRESCO SeraFree™ Cryopreservation Media rival serum-containing media.
HeLa cells (1x10
6) were frozen in AMRESCO’s DMEM (

) or RPMI (

) SeraFree™ media, serum-containing freezing media (

) and a competitor’s serum-free freezing media (

). Thawed cells were counted using standard trypan blue exclusion assay.
