Cell and Tissue Preservation for Single-Cell Research
The interval between sample collection and cell capture is where most viability losses happen — not in the library prep, not on the sequencer. This collection covers that gap.
Seven preservation products, each built for a different point in the pre-analytical workflow:
Short-term tissue storage at 4°C The Animal Tissue Storage Kit keeps whole tissue viable for up to 72 hours at 2–8°C. Covers the window between surgical collection and dissociation — suitable for transport between sites, batched scheduling, and over 100 tissue types including brain, liver, lung, tumor, and reproductive tissue. Organ-specific variants are available for gastrointestinal tissue and pancreas, where standard storage solutions fall short of clinical collection requirements.
Long-term cryopreservation of whole tissue The Animal Tissue Freezing Kit uses gradient-based cryoprotection to slow membrane damage during the freeze-down process — the step where conventional snap-freezing typically loses 10–30% of viable cells to ice crystal formation and osmotic stress. Supports –80°C and liquid nitrogen storage.
Cell suspension freezing Three options for suspensions post-dissociation: the Universal Cell Freezing Kit for general use, a Serum-Free One-Step Medium for streamlined processing, and a Serum-Free / DMSO-Free Medium for workflows where downstream assay compatibility rules out standard cryoprotectants. All support –80°C and liquid nitrogen.
All products are tested end-to-end in scRNA-seq projects, with viability rates and captured cell counts from real sequencing runs — not just storage benchmarks.
Compatible with 10x Genomics Chromium, BD Rhapsody, and Drop-seq workflows.
