CryoShield Gold™ Serum-Free Cryopreservation Medium, DMSO-Free, Sterile-Filtered, 100mL

CryoShield Gold™ by CellPro is an advanced, xeno-free cryopreservation medium formulated to eliminate the risks of DMSO toxicity and bacterial contamination. Designed for long-term storage of cells and tissues at –80°C, this fully defined, ready-to-use solution contains no serum, no protein, and no animal-derived components—ensuring uncompromised safety, reproducibility, and post-thaw performance.

CryoShield Gold™ is ideal for preserving a broad range of primary cells, stem cells, and established cell lines, including CHO, HEK, 3T3, Vero, MCF7, MDCK, and human ESCs/iPSCs. It maintains exceptional viability and attachment even after extended exposure at room temperature and has been validated to outperform standard FBS + 10% DMSO solutions.

Key Benefits

• DMSO-free formulation with no apoptosis or necrosis, even after 4 hours at room temperature
• No risk of bacterial contamination, even in non-sterile storage conditions
• Animal origin–free, protein-free, and serum-free
• Fully defined formulation with GMP-grade consistency
• High post-thaw viability and cell morphology retention
• No need for liquid nitrogen storage—stable at –80°C
• Superior to Recovery™, CryoStor™, and mFreSR™ in performance and safety

Performance Highlights

• Bacterial-free in 7-day room temp challenge
• Maintains ~90% post-thaw viability in human amniotic MSCs
