Today we would like to show you results from Japan: Mr Shota Moriya, Department of Biochemistry, Tokyo Medical University

 

"Good storage efficiency was obtained by using Bambanker® even in delicate cells such as mouse fibroblast cell lines (MEF). In addition, good results are obtained with leukemia cell lines and various other cell lines.

Bambanker® has been used by many researchers both in Japan and abroad since its launch in 1999. Unlike conventional methods and other companies’ products, not using serum eliminates differences between product lots and enables stable, efficient storage. I feel safe using the product since it is manufactured in facilities complying with the a manufacturing standard equivalent to GMP guidelines. (Good Manufacturing Practice for Drugs and Quasi-drugs )and sterility tests are carried out using the colorimetric method (endotoxin), PCR method (mycoplasma), and agar medium method (fungi, bacteria). In addition, its inexpensive price is attractive, and it is likely to become the first choice for cell preservation solution (first-line reagent) in the near future. I strongly recommend trying Bambanker® for cells that suffer poor viability with existing preservative solution."
