Specifications
| Warnings | For your protection, you must wear protective gloves, clothing, and a face mask when handling frozen vials. Bear in mind that some liquid seepage into the vial can occur during storage. Upon thawing, the liquid nitrogen turns into a gas. Due to the nature of nitrogen, this can cause pressure to build up inside the vial, potentially leading to the vial bursting or the cap ejecting. This creates a risk of flying debris. |
| Cryopreservation Medium | 90% complete growth medium plus 10% DMSO. |
| Research Use Only | For Research Use Only. Not For Clinical Use. |
