Build your complete workflow
Create your fully defined environment - from freezing to recovery
Combine CELLBANKER® with:
- iMatrix® Laminins – defined ECMs for reproducible cell adhesion and stem-cell culture
- Corning® Matrigel® Basement Membrane Matrix – the gold standard for 3D cell and organoid recovery
- StemFit® media – optimized for stem cell growth and differentiation
- InVitria animal-free media supplements – Cellastim S (rHSA), Optiferrin® (rTransferrin), and ITS/ITSE Additive kits for xeno-free stem cell and bioprocess workflows
- PCB Growth Factors – xeno-free cytokines for consistent culture performance
- Corning® Cryovials & Bioprocess products – scalable storage and expansion systems
STEM CELL SYNERGY — your complete stem cell workflow:
iMatrix × StemFit × CELLBANKER® = efficient, reproducible, xeno-free results.
Preserve your cells with confidence
Whether you’re working with stem cells, organoids, or cell therapy products, CELLBANKER® gives you reliable preservation and recovery, so you can focus on your research, not your freezing protocol.
