This chemically defined, animal-free cryopreservation medium, manufactured under GMP conditions, ensures high post-thaw viability and maintains cell pluripotency, normal karyotype, and proliferation ability.   STEM-CELLBANKER™ is optimized for the storage of hESCs and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), as well as other fragile cell types. It is available in various formulations, including DMSO-free versions, to cater to specific research and clinical needs. The medium is suitable for long-term storage at temperatures as low as -80°C or -196°C, requiring no specialized equipment like programmable freezers or liquid nitrogen.     ### Key Features - **High Cell Viability:** Maintains over 90% viability post-thaw. - **Long-Term Storage:** Proven stability for over 10 years at -80°C or -196°C. - **GMP Compliance:** Manufactured in compliance with JPN, EU, US, and PIC/S GMP guidelines. - **FDA Master File Registered:** Registered with the FDA CBER. - **Versatile Applications:** Suitable for cell, organoid, and tissue cryopreservation.   ### Real-World Application The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center utilized STEM-CELLBANKER™ to store, thaw, and recover stem cell-derived midbrain dopamine progenitors for clinical use in Parkinson’s disease patients. This underscores the medium's critical role in advancing regenerative therapies.  Explore the full range of STEM-CELLBANKER™ products and find the ideal formulation for your research or clinical needs.
