The impact of cryoprotective media on cryopreservation of cells using loading trehalose.

The purpose of the present study was to assess the impact of cryoprotective media on cryopreservation of Paesun cells using loading trehalose. 30 mM trehalose was added after confluence of cells, and cultures were further incubated for 18 h at 37 °C. Cryoprotective media was "Cryocool" for the experiment, while MEM containing 10% FBS for the control.

Cryopreservation of cell line Paesun by a rapid cooling.

The purpose of the present study was to clarify the possibility of a rapid cryopreservation for cell line Paesun by cooling in the range of 30-40 °C/min to vapor phase of -120 ∼-140 °C before immersion into liquid phase of liquid nitrogen using 10% MeSO. After thawing, these cells were examined with assaying viability by trypan blue exclusion staining and survival by cloning in monolayer; the percentages of cell and colony recovery obtained in rapid cooling had a tendency to be lower than that by slow cooling of 1 °C/min but there were no significant differences between them. In addition, post-thaw cells were examined by assaying proliferation and susceptibility to virus lines; there were no significant differences between before and after cryopreservation.
