Freezing
For optimum results, cells for cryopreservation should be in log phase of growth. Similar or other standard freezing protocols may be substituted.
- Examine and make sure the cell culture is free of contamination, in healthy and at proper confluency.
- Perform a cell count to determine the viability of cells.
- Centrifuge at 1,000 – 2,000 rpm, 4°C for 3 to 5 minutes to gently pellet the cells. Remove the supernatant with an aspirator.
- Gently suspend CELLBANKER® 2 cryopreservation medium (1 mL for 5×10⁵ – 5×10⁶ cells).
- Transfer 1 mL of the cell suspension to cryopreservation vial labeled with appropriate information (the cell line name, concentration, passage date etc.).
- Place the vials directly in -80℃ for storage.
- (OPTIONAL) Transfer the frozen vials to a liquid nitrogen storage tank after the vials have been frozen for at least 24 hours.
Thawing
- Remove the cryopreservation vial from the freezer and quickly thaw cells in a 37°C shaking water bath or shake by hand.
- Transfer the content to a centrifugation tube then immediately dilute and gently mix with 10mL of complete cell culture medium. Using CELLOTION® instead of complete culture medium will prevent adhesion of cells to the wall of the tube, increasing the recovery rate.
- Centrifuge cells at 1,000 – 2,000 rpm, 4°C for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the supernatant with an aspirator.
- Gently resuspend the cells with an appropriate volume of complete cell culture medium then plate in a culture flask or plate
- Continue the culture procedures according to standard protocols.
