A simple freezing medium for serum-free cultured cells
Abstract
Methylcellulose was found to protect serum-free cultured cells from the deleterious effects of freezing and thawing. We have formulated a simple medium suitable for freezing serum-free cultured cells that consists of 0.1% methylcellulose, 10% dimethylsulfoxide, and MEM or any other serum-free culture medium.
