Description
ROTI®Cell Freezing Medium, serum free, sterile, Density (D) ~1 g/cm³, Boiling point (bp) ~100 °C, Storage temp. +2 to +8 °C
Cryopreservation allows the preservation and indefinite storage of living cells at very low temperatures (< -150°C). This requires cryopreservation media that ensure protection of the cells and minimize ice crystal formation.
ROTI®Cell Freezing Medium is a serum-free cryopreservation medium for long-term storage of various cell types. It contains 10 % DMSO and is also suitable for sensitive cells due to its gentle formulation. Thus, it is preferably used for the cryopreservation of embryonic and adult stem cells as well as induced pluripotent stem cells (IPS).
DMSO serves as a cryoprotectant. By lowering the freezing point, a gentler cooling rate for the cells is ensured. Cell stress is minimized and possible cell damage caused by intracellular ice crystals is largely prevented.
Also available with serum (Order No. 3A8H.1)
