No more DMSO – for the most sensitive cells

DMSO is added to most freezing reagents to help avoid formation of ice crystals, which of course harm the cells. However, DMSO is cytotoxic and can reduce the survival rate of certain sensitive cell lines. Bambanker DMSO Free is made without DMSO. Instead, it uses a unique formulation to avoid the formation of ice crystals. This makes Bambanker DMSO Free especially suitable for cell lines that proved to be sensitive to DMSO under long-term storage conditions.

Flexible

There a four different versions of Bambanker™.

  • All Bambanker™ types are free of fetal bovine serum (FBS) and have a defined and constant composition.
  • They also do not contain antibiotic or antifungal ingredients.

The four different types of Bambanker™ are recommended depending on your specific needs:

BB03-Bambanker- 20mL Bambanker™ (standard for all cell lines, package units: 20 mL, 5 x 20 mL, 120 mL)
Bambanker™ Direct (for hybridoma cells, package unit: 20 mL)
Bambanker™ hRM (for ES and iPS cells, package units: 20 mL, 120 mL)

Customer references

I consider Bambanker a very useful worktool for the following reasons:
1) replacement of a toxic substance (DMSO)
2) saving of 4 hours of time required for freezing in nitrogen / -80° C foreseen with the use of DMSO
3) cellular vitality guaranteed after the defrosting of all the linesthat I manage

3 reviews for Bambanker DMSO Free

  1. desiree.argiriu

    I needed a DMSO-free Medium for my very sinsitive Mastcells and it worked very nice! The medium helped that after freezing and thawing the cells grow faster and have a higher viability. Nice product!

  2. Dr. Céline Laschet, BCiPharma, Belgium

    We observed that there were more living cells after thawing (4.5 times more cells after 3 days of thawing) but not yet enough cells to pass into a T75. It took 7 days of thawing for the passage in a T75 vs 10 days for our classic freezing condition.

    We had a major liquid Nitrogen tank issue. We looked for an alternative. We requested a free sample to try.
    Bambanker was sooo easy to use and very good on sensitive cells (no toxicity see), which can also be stored at -80. No more DMSO/FBS!!
    I highly recommend it (10 years+ (primary& cell line) cell culture experience!)
