Chemically defined cryo-preservation medium. Does not contain FBS (foetal bovine serum) or BSA (bovine serum albumin).
Intended Use
TC-Protector is a ready-to-use optimised cryo-preservation medium which allows for the direct freezing of an expansive range of mammalian cell lines at -80oC.
TC-Protector provides a no-mess solution for the protection of cells during frozen storage, and reliably gives a high cell viability and durability rate on thawing.
