Serum Free Cryoprotective Media With DMSO
PurMa™ Serum Free Cryoprotective Media With DMSO allows the cryoprotective agent to get inside the cells instantly and lower cell death because of penetration / freezing in absence of any serum or animal product. That will inevitably, cause a decrease in concentration of water which Cell death and low recovery rate.
Description
Background
During cryopreservation cooling aqueous solutions below the equilibrium freezing point will inevitably result in the formation of ice crystals in the extracellular media. PurMa™ Serum Free Cryoprotective Media With DMSO allows the cryoprotective agent to get inside the cells instantly and lower cell death because of penetration / freezing in absence of any serum or animal product. That will inevitably, cause a decrease in concentration of water which has two key consequences:
- Osmotic gradient forms across the cell membrane, which causes “cell dehydration”, and
- Ice formation and abnormal concentration of solutes in intracellular matrix, osmotic shock, and toxicity.
More Importantly, we always manufacture our cryoprotective media using our most sophisticated water , for more details, Click here:

Serum in Cryoprotective Media
Serum and its components perform a crucial role in cells viability as well as recovery during cryopreservation. Nevertheless, there is known disadvantages of the serum in Cryoprotective media:
- The inability to fully sterilize them.
- Moreover, unknown composition.
- And finally, the batch-to-batch variation which results in inconsistency in the rate of survival, recovery, and viability in cryopreservation. Additionally, more crucial for sensitive cells to cryopreservation.
- Therefore, a chemically defined Cryoprotective media resolves the several including the above-mentioned restrictions.
Two Major Benefit
- PurMaTM Serum Free Cryoprotective Medium (SFCM) prevents cell hydration and formation of ice crystals, therefore is an excellent tool for short- and long-term cryopreservation.
- PurMaTM Serum Free Cryoprotective Medium (SFCM) contains DMSO.
In PurMa Biologics, with three decades of experience, we have evaluated different combinations of synthetic polymers that can replace serum. We have successfully developed a fully defined cryoprotective media which is free of animal products .
DMSO benefits cryoprotection and cryoprotective agent in several ways
- Provides strong molecular stability.
- Besides, facilitates a high non-conductor constant.
- It contains the basic properties, salts solubility particularly for anions. Additionally contains a propensity to act as the acceptor atom in hydrogen bonding.
- Especially, DMSO makes a hydrogen bond with water which is 30% stronger than between two water molecules.
Special Features
- Ready-to-Use medium.
- Each Lot of PurMaTM Serum Free Cryoprotective Medium (SFCM) goes through pathogens and sterility evaluations.
- We evaluate each Lot for survival test (by Trypan Blue method), viability & performance evaluation (by MTT Test), as well as for the rate of recovery by Alamar Blue test.
- PurMaTM SFCM results in the lowest cell loss during freezing and thawing as well as the highest cell recovery. Moreover, it provides over 66% survival and recovery rate after long term cryopreservation.
- Sterile (Passed through 0.2µm filters).
- Moreover, PurMaTM SFCM provides an exceptional cryopreservation for primary and commercial cell lines
- Suitable for clinical applications.

Review: I have worked directly with PurMa biologics on a number of projects ongoing in my lab. I find the media and the specialty Lipid Depleted Serum to be high quality and very consistent among batches, which is critical to our adipogenesis projects using primary stem cells. Also, the service from PurMa is outstanding for my lab.

Review: I started my lab using the regular Gibco media components. We have shifted to Purma past 6 months and see no difference in the quality of our cell culture. Simply saying that Purma is cheaper, quicker to deliver and as good as Gibco. The best part was that Purma customized several media for our fish cell lines which was really helpful. Lastly, Seif walked through the customization of media over Zoom, that gave a lot of confidence for using those media solutions.

Review: Reliable and dependable products. We purchased lipid-depleted FBS (LD-FBS) from PurMa Biologics and it worked great. We cross-checked the lipid content in the serum by GC-MS and Triglyceride assay and as advertised, did not find any lipids in the FBS.
