DMSO-free Cell Freezing (Cryopreserving) Medium StemCell Keep & Cryoscarless DMSO-Free
Date：June 12 2020Web Page No：46011
Let’s preserve your cells without DMSO and serum
For cryopreservation of stem cells = StemCell Keep (#VPL-A1)
For cryopreservation of various cells = Cryoscarless DMSO-Free (#CPL-A1)
Background
Existent problem of preservation media contains DMSO
DMSO, which is commonly added to freezing medium as a cryoprotectant, it is known to be harmful to human and is particularly highly absorbed through the skin. DMSO is not only cytotoxic, but also has been shown to affect cell differentiation, as reported below. Therefore, in order to obtain more accurate experimental results, DMSO-free condition is recommended.
- Human myeloid leukemia cell line HL-60 differentiates into granulocytes by DMSO.
Jiang, G., et al., Int. Immunopharmacol., 6 (7), 1204～1213 (2006) - Mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into cardiomyocytes by DMSO.
Young, D. A., et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 322 (3), 759～765 (2004) - Cryopreservation of human ES cells in DMSO solution decreases the expression of Oct-4, an undifferentiated marker.
Katkov, I. I., et al., Cyobiology, 53 (2), 194～205 (2006)
The survival rate of DAP213 after thawing decreases significantly if it is not frozen within 10-30 seconds. However, StemCell Keep is easy to operate because it should be stored within 1 minute. No skill is required.
What is vitrification?
Vitrification is a method in which cells are frozen in an amorphous glassy state by rapidly immersing them directly in liquid nitrogen to prevent water from crystallizing. Since there is no volume expansion of water, there is little damage to the cells. The survival rate of primate ES/iPS cells after thawing is very low with conventional freezing methods, so vitrification is recommended. However, because vitrification requires a high solute concentration, there is a problem that cell toxicity due to solutes tends to be high. Therefore, the appearance of cryopreservation solutions with low toxicity has been awaited. As a better vitrification solution, StemCell Keep has been developed.
StemCell Keep Features
For cryopreservation of stem cells
- Does not contain DMSO or animal proteins, which are said to affect differentiation
- Can be cryopreserved while maintaining colonies by vitrification
- Can be cryopreserved while maintaining pluripotency (undifferentiated state) of stem cells
- A new, highly safe cryoprotectant (patent pending) can be used to cryopreserve colonies of ES/iPS cells more efficiently because of its enhanced cytoprotection and vitrification.
- Sufficient for 100 vials, when used according to the protocol
- Free of bacteria, fungi and mycoplasma contamination are confirmed by sterility tests.
- Can be stored stably at 4°C for a long time (shelf life: 2 years after manufactured)
- Free trial sample is available. (Please contact your local distributor)
Cryopreservation of human iPS cells
Human iPS cells were frozen and stored in a existing vitrification solution (DAP213) and StemCell Keep for 1 week. The colony formation rate on the day after thawing and the cell number (recovery rate) after 4 days are shown as a percentage (%) compared with a non-frozen group. The frozen cells with StemCell Keep clearly showed a higher protective effect.

Handling
Cryoscarless Features
For cryopreservation of various cells
- Since it contains no serum or proteins, it is not affected by proteins such as albumin and globulin.
- Since there is no DMSO-toxicity and protein effect, it is possible to cryopreserve cells safely and with high survival rate.
- Most cells have >90% survival rate after freezing and thawing.
- The cryopreservation effect has been shown in various cells such as human/mouse normal cells, tumor cell lines, and stem cells.
- Stem cells can also be cryopreserved while maintaining their differentiation potential.
- Suitable for serum-free culture
- Free of bacteria, fungi and mycoplasma contamination are confirmed by sterility tests.
- Can be stored stably at 4°C for a long time (shelf life: 2 years after manufactured)
- Free trial sample is available. (Please contact your local distributor)
Differentiation of rat mesenchymal stem cells
Rat mesenchymal stem cells were frozen with Cryoscarless. After thawing, the differentiation ability was compared with non-frozen group and 10%DMSO. The differentiation ability of the cells frozen with Cryoscarless was well maintained.
