Protocol – Thawing and Revival of Cryopreserved Cells
This protocol describes the revival process of cryopreserved adherent cells. The revival process involves rapid thawing of cryopreserved cells followed by removal of freezing medium which contains cryoprotectant, in this case, DMSO. The freezing medium can be removed immediately just after thawing the cells by centrifugation. Alternatively, cells are allowed to adhere to the culture dish followed by washing and addition of fresh growth medium.
