Tissue Culture Series #4: Cell Freezing 

Thanks for your question! There are many variables that can contribute to how long cells are viable for in -80˚ C storage, including cell type and the type of cryopreservation medium that the cells are stored in. Generally, cells will not maintain as high a level of viability when stored in -80˚ C vs standard storage in liquid nitrogen. For more information about storing cells in -80˚ C storage, please contact Technical Services: ms.spr.ly/6056cLY5i (please ensure the correct country is selected in the top right corner).
