STEM CELLBANKER from Amsbio is a chemically defined freezing medium with optimised formulation for stem cells and iPS cells storage.
In a recent study to determine the best cryopreservation solution to maintain induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, a team of researchers from the Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine (Japan) compared 12 kinds of commercially prepared cryopreservation solutions and found that Stem Cellbanker outperformed the other 11 solutions.
The researchers concluded that Stem Cellbanker showed the highest cell viability and proliferation of all the solutions tested and can be widely used as it does not require any special skills to use.
Stem Cellbanker is free of serum and animal derived components, and contains only Japanese, European or US Pharmacopoeia graded ingredients.
It increases cell viability while maintaining cell pluripotency, normal karyotype and proliferation ability following resuscitation from cryopreservation, even after extended long-term storage.
Independent research has demonstrated that hESC, MSCs and iPS cells cryopreserved with Stem Cellbanker produce significantly higher cell viability (> 90%) over conventional freezing medium, while retaining cell pluripotency, normal karyotype and proliferation ability.
Every batch of Stem Cellbanker cryopreservation medium is performance tested on jurkat and SK-007 cells. Additional standard evaluations for endotoxins, pH, osmolarity and mycoplasma contaminants are undertaken to ensure GMP equivalent quality.
