Background information
Cryopreservation of living cells and tissues is frequently applied for long term storage to preserve the samples for later use. The freezing and thawing of the samples are critical steps in the cryopreservation process which can influence the recovery of viable cells after storage. The MACS Freezing Solution allows the cryopreservation of primary cells and solid tissue samples under serum-free conditions with high preservation of viability and recovery of cells and tissues after thawing. It has been tested and validated on diverse cell types and tissues, such as human and mouse tumor samples, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and cells from dissociated solid tissues (e.g. cells from dissociated tumors). MACS Freezing Solution contains 10% DMSO as cryoprotectant.

Overview
The MACS Freezing Solution is a ready-to use serum-free and animal component-free media formulation developed for the cryopreservation of primary cells and solid tissues. The MACS Freezing Solution ensures high preservation of viability and recovery of cells and tissues after thawing.
