Irvine Scientific, a world leader in the innovation and manufacture of cell culture media, announced today the addition of PRIME-XV® FreezIS DMSO-Free, a chemically-defined cryopreservation solution for human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) that is free of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and animal-derived components.
Amid growing concerns that DMSO may compromise the potency of MSCs, offering an effective DMSO-free cryoprotectant is an important addition to PRIME-XV product line. Researchers can now characterize cells in DMSO-free environments during basic and translational research, which may add valuable insight downstream and facilitate scale-up. PRIME-XV FreezIS DMSO-Free maintains the potency of MSCs throughout cryopreservation while sustaining comparable cell viability as solutions containing 10% DMSO.
“Providing an effective, DMSO-free cryopreservation solution can facilitate scale up by enabling researchers to develop reproducible and robust, clinical-friendly protocols in the early stages of translational research.” says Dr. Jessie Ni, Chief Scientific Officer of Irvine Scientific. “We are committed to leading ...
