Cryopreservation of iPS-derived Hepatic cells using Bambanker

Written by Dr. Marcelo Lanz | Nov 24, 2020 10:16:00 AM

Today, we would like to show you results from Japan:

Dr. Atsunori Sato of Tagawa Laboratory, School and Graduate School of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Tokyo Institute of Technology, is showing his results on the cryopreservation of iPS-derived Hepatic cells.

“This freezing preservation of differentiation-induced cells was our first attempt in this laboratory. The laboratory has used Bambanker for freezing preservation of cells whose cytotoxicity we want to suppress. However, this time, we examined whether Bambanker is also effective for preserving differentiation-induced cells. We found that the cells after freezing preservation using Bambanker maintained their viability as well as the morphology of the cells before the freezing preservation. Therefore, we consider that Bambanker is suitable for freezing preservation of differentiation-induced cells.”
