Can I use a bead bath to thaw PromoCell normal human cells?

Based on negative feedback we have received from customers using bead baths, we strongly discourage the use of bead baths to thaw our cells. It can lead to reduced viability or significantly slower growing cells. If you don’t have a “normal” water bath but only a bead bath in your lab, thaw the vial in a beaker of water in the bead bath. Ensure the water is heated to exactly 37°C using a thermometer placed in the warmed water. Be sure to hold the vial in your hand, and not in a floater, as described in the thawing protocol.
