Exposing cells to temperatures below 0\u00b0C without the aid of cryoprotectants typically causes cell death. During cryopreservation cooling aqueous solutions below the equilibrium freezing point inevitably result in the formation of ice crystals in the extracellular media and a decrease in the concentration of water which has two key consequences:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Osmotic gradient forms across the cell membrane, which causes \u201ccell dehydration\u201d, and<\/li>\n<li>Ice formation and abnormal concentration of solutes in the intracellular matrix, osmotic shock, and toxicity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>More Importantly, we always manufacture\u00a0 our cryoprotective media using our most sophisticated water , for more details, Click here:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/purmabiologics.com\/blog\/product\/ultra-pure-cell-culture-suited-water\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">PurMa\u2122 Ultra-Pure Cell Culture Suited Water<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PurMa Biologics is the leading company in manufacturing cryoprotective media.
