Clinical-grade Cryopreservation Solution for iPSCs
ReproCryo RM is an optimized freezing medium for ES/iPS cells which does not employ DMSO as a functional additive. DMSO is considered non-desirable due to proven mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. The medium is manufactured meets the Japan Standards for Biological Materials Safety.
This is the clinical version of ReproCryo DMSO Free (Cat. No. RCHEFM005). ReproCryo RM is listed in the Japanese Drug Master File as an ancillary material, suitable for use in processes leading to cellular therapeutics. ReproCryo RM is not intended for direct administration into patients.
hiPSC 201B7 cell grown in ReproXF medium (Cat. No. RCHEMD007) on vitronectin were cryopreserved with ReproCryo DMSO Free and competitive media, and stored at −80 °C. A vial was thawed and plated to determine viability.
