Instructions

1. Collect culture cells (during logarithmic growth stage) and place 5x10⁵ - 1x10⁷ cells in a cryovial. Centrifuge for 5 minutes at 1,200 rpm.
2. Add 1 ml of Cos Banker to cell pellet and vigorously mix, then freeze and store at -80°C.
3. If liquid Nitrogen storage is desired, freeze cells at -80°C first and then transfer to liquid Nitrogen.
4. To thaw, defrost in 37°C water bath quickly.
   Note: It is ideal to use a logarithmic growth stage culture in order to increase the survival rate when thawed.
