Ready-to-use freezing media for cryopreservation of adherent or
suspension cultured cells
- Animal-free RPMI or DMEM based defined media composition eliminates batch-to-batch variability
- Optimizes cell viability and cell growth after thawing
- Sterile and endotoxin tested
- Reduces potential for transmission of infectious agents
- Eliminates regulatory compliance requirements associated with use of animal products
- Cost effective
K562 Cell Post-thaw Viability Frozen in SeraFree™ Media versus Serum Containing Media
Viability of post-thaw cultures of K562 cells. 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.
HeLa Cell Viability after Storage in SeraFree™ Media vs Serum Containing Media
Performance of AMRESCO SeraFree™ Cryopreservation Media rival serum-containing media. HeLa cells (1x106) 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.
