Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has expanded its suite of cryopreservation reagents with the introduction of the HyClone HyCryo and HyCryo-STEM cryopreservation media, enabling researchers to maximize the preservation, recovery, and growth of post-thaw cells for general cell culture and stem cell applications.

HyCryo media is a serum-free, animal component-free product intended for cryogenic preservation and storage of standard cell lines. Animal component-free assures the media is free of any human or animal non-human components to deliver better sample integrity and adaptability. Designed specifically for stem cell applications, HyCryo-STEM enhances cell recovery and post-thaw growth of pluripotent stem cells and neural progenitor cells. The serum-free formulation maintains differentiation potential and minimizes spontaneous differentiation of stem cells.

HyCryo formulation is designed to promote viability of frozen cells and ensure cellular integrity and recovery. HyCryo eliminates the added steps of mixing and filtering multiple products.

Researchers can simply add HyCryo cryopreservation media directly to prepared cells and transfer to a Thermo Scientific Nunc Cryovial for sample integrity during freezing and long-term storage.
