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.
