NIPPON Genetics EUROPE Bambanker Direct Cell Freezing Medium; 20mL

There are certain cell types, such as hybridomas, which exhibit increased sensitivity to ″over″ manipulations. These cells often exhibit higher death rates or unwanted differentiation after long-term storage and freeze thaw cycling. It is for these types of cells that Bambanker™ Direct was created – to provide tight environmental control. By eliminating the centrifugation step, cells can now be frozen for long-term storage immediately upon addition of the novel cryoprotectant. Just add Bambanker™ Direct, one-to-one, with your cells in media and directly place in freezer. And like with the original Bambanker™, the Direct version has no serum, so it is great for cells which animal-derived serum may be an issue.

All products of the Bambanker™ series are manufactured in facilities compliant with current good manufacturing practices (GMP). The products are subject to a solid quality management system that ensures the consistency, reliability and high quality you can rely on.

• Enables long term cell storage at -80 or -196°C
• Perfectly suited for hybridoma cells and HTP-applications
• Bambanker™ Direct can be directly added to the cells – no washing and no centrifugation necessary
• Improved cell recovery and viability after thawing
• Ready-to-use – no programmed or sequential freezing required
• Serum-free – no risk of contamination
