Protective medium ChillProtec® successfully tested
Customer analysis of first results
When kept in Biochrom AG's new protective medium ChillProtec®, adherent cells, cell suspensions or small tissue pieces are able to remain intact after cold storage. ChillProtec® reduces cell damage caused by cold. The first results of tests show that the cold storage using both media types ChillProtec® and ChillProtec® plus is well effective for the storage of cells such as CHO-K1, chondrocytes, embryonic mouse fibroblasts (MEF), or mesenchymal stem cells. The possible storage period heavily depends on the respective cell type, cultivation and the usage of the cells. It ranges from three days to more than two weeks. When kept in ChillProtec®, it was possible to store small tissue pieces of human or murine dermis for up to four days.
Both new media are well suitable for the transport of cells or small tissue pieces, as well as for the storage of fresh clinical specimens until subsequent treatment.
