App Note: Cell Monolayer Cryopreservation

‘Thaw-and-Use Assay Cells’ made using CryoShield and Single Use Support‘s technologies are a highly effective solution for a range of cell-based assays, from transfection studies to running toxicity screening experiments for drug candidates. No specialised equipment is required by the end user for the thawing procedure, they simply remove the protective film, add cell media, and incubate overnight. Overall, we have shown that cells can be cryopreserved as ‘assay-ready’ monolayers, in a scalable and versatile format. This will enable the development of new screening technologies and enhance automation as well as reduce the experimental burden on researchers, and ultimately enable the highest quality models to be made available to anyone.
