Good recovery relies on successful storage
Preparation is key. Improper cryogenic preservation can have disastrous outcomes, leading to poor (or no!) cell recovery and project setbacks. Review information on cryopreservation and cold storage best practices before you freeze your first vial.

Handbook
Written as a collaborative effort between authors from Thermo Fisher Scientific and American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), this comprehensive guide gives practical information on sample preparation, cryo storage, and recovery of cultured cells.
Webinar
This webinar will provide detail related to cell preservation and storage considerations, as well as criteria for selecting appropriate storage tubes to meet your downstream cell culture needs.
Webinar: Choosing the right cold storage for cell culture applications
Learn how to select the best cold storage and sample prep solutions, with an eye to pertinent criteria that can lead to an optimized cell culture experience.
Freezing cells
This video demonstrates the critical steps required to freeze cells while maintaining optimal cell health. We review the equipment required, how to prepare for freezing and each step performed in a careful way at the right pace to prevent damage to your cells.
Thawing and plating cryopreserved hepatocytes
This video covers the thawing and prep of cryopreserved hepatocytes for their subsequent use in applications such as metabolic stability (intrinsic clearance), metabolite ID/profiling, enzyme induction, hepatotoxicity, transporter uptake and efflux, environmental bioaccumulation and liver disease.
