What's the difference between PromoCell Cryo‑SFM Plus and a standard freezing medium?

Most conventional freezing media contain 10% DMSO and 20–90% fetal bovine serum (FBS).
In contrast, PromoCell Cryo‑SFM Plus is:

• Serum-free
• Animal component-free
• Protein-free
• Chemically defined
• Formulated with <10% DMSO
• Supplemented with methylcellulose and other cryoprotective components instead of FBS

Because many PromoCell culture media are low-serum or serum-free, Cryo‑SFM Plus enables cells to be cryopreserved under serum-free conditions, helping to maintain consistency throughout the cell culture workflow.
 
Please note: Cryo‑SFM Plus has been specifically developed to support high post-thaw cell viability, attachment, and growth without the use of serum.
