STEM-CELLBANKER® DMSO-free

GMP-grade STEM-CELLBANKER® is also available in a DMSO-free formulation, for clinical applications where DMSO is an unsuitable freezing agent.

GMP-grade STEM-CELLBANKER has also been validated by high profile laboratories for cryopreservation and recovery of whole organoids, with high viability rates. Find out more here.

STEM-CELLBANKER® EX

Expanding the possibilities of cell therapy, STEM-CELLBANKER® EX is a GMP-compliant, chemically defined, sterile,  & xeno-free cryopreservation media you can rely on for safe & easy storage of your ATMP. 

  • Composed of ingredients that are already approved in the manufacture of cell therapy excipients for intravenous injection.
  • Optimized for applications in regenerative medicine: no requirement for washing of the cryopreservation solution upon delivery of the cell therapy product.
  • Drug Master File registered with the FDA - CBER.

HSC-BANKER®

HSC-BANKER® is a GMP-compliant cryopreservation solution optimised for hematopoietic stem cells. Its simple formulation offers the potential to be used as an excipient in cell therapy applications.

A study by the Cord Blood Bank of the Japanese Red Cross Society found that HSC-BANKER can effectively replace conventional 8% DMSO and DEXTRAN-containing media for cryoprotection of HSCs. View results here.
