ChillProtec®: new protective medium for cold storage of cells
Even primary cells remain intact after cold storage for a longer period of time
Adherent cells, cell suspensions or small tissue pieces are able to remain intact after cold storage when kept in the new medium ChillProtec®. The protective medium reduces cell damage caused by cold. Primary human hepatocytes, for example, remained intact at 2-8 °C for several days.
We offer two variations of this new medium:
ChillProtec® and ChillProtec® plus. ChillProtec® plus contains a macromolecular substance that has an additional protective effect on different cell types. You should therefore definitely test your cells using both versions.
Application of ChillProtec®:
- longer use of primary cells
- temporary storage of fresh clinical specimens until cell isolation
- storage of isolated cells and independent fixing of the start of the experiment
- transport and shipping of cells and tissue
- short-term storage of remaining cells
