Cost-effective cryopreservation without compromise
A new blog has been published by Amsbio comparing the benefits of its CELLBANKER® range of cryopreservation solutions with ‘homebrew’ cryopreservation media.
Homebrew cryopreservation media are do-it-yourself solutions, commonly using a mixture of DMSO, a serum (such as FBS), and a basal growth medium. These mixtures are often favored because of their lower upfront cost or to meet specific lab needs, but the optimal formulation depends heavily on the cell line's sensitivity.
