Explanatory Notes

Preservation culture media support transfer, holding, or storage of cells by reducing physiological stress and helping maintain viability. They may include cryoprotective agents for ultra-low temperature storage or stabilizing components for refrigerated transport. These formulations are typically sterile and liquid, and may be animal-origin-free or xeno-free. Some preservation culture media are formulated for particular cell types, such as mammalian cells or pluripotent stem cells.
