CryoDefend-Cell Lines (5 x 10 mL)
R&D Systems, part of Bio-Techne | Catalog # CCM019
Key Product Details
Assay Procedure
Refer to the product datasheet for complete product details.
Briefly, cultured cells can be cryopreserved using the following procedure:
- Transfer detached cells to a conical tube and centrifuge
- Remove supernatant and resuspend in CryoDefend® Cell Lines Media
- Transfer cells to a cryovial and freeze at -80 °C overnight
- Transfer the frozen cryovial to liquid nitrogen
Reagents supplied in the CryoDefend® Cell Lines Media (Catalog # CCM019):
- 5 x 10 mL vials of CryoDefend® Cell Lines Media
Upon receipt, the CryoDefend® Cell Lines Media should be stored at = -20 °C in a manual defrost freezer. The media can be thawed at 2 °C to 8 °C or at room temperature. Thawed media can be aliquoted and stored at = -20 °C in a manual defrost freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw a fresh aliquot for each use. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

R&D Systems Protocol for the Cryopreservation and Thawing of Stem Cells in CryoDefend® Cell Lines Media (Catalog # CCM019)
Cryopreservation of Cultured Cells
Thaw CryoDefend® Cell Lines Media.

Detach the cells from the cell culture dish.

Transfer the cells to a 15 mL conical tube.
Centrifuge at 200 x g for 5 minutes.
Remove and discard the supernatant.
Resuspendthe cells in CryoDefend® Cell Lines Media at 0.5-1.0 x 106 cells/mL.

Transfer the cells to a cryovial.
Freeze the cryovial at -80 °C overnight.
Transfer the frozen cryovial to liquid nitrogen for storage.

Thawing of Cryopreserved Cells
Warm appropriate cell culture media to 37 °C.

Add pre-warmed culture media to the cryovial containing cryopreserved cells.
Pipette up and down and as cells thaw, transfer the thawed cells to a 15 mL conical tube containing pre-warmed expansion media.

Centrifuge at 200 x g for 5 minutes.
Resuspend the cells in pre-warmed expansion media.
Plate the stem cells at the desired density.
