Improve Cell Recovery and Simplify Your Workflow
Bambanker™ is a ready-to-use cell freezing medium that delivers high post-thaw viability, removes the need for step-wise freezing and allows long-term storage at -80°C without liquid nitrogen.
Is Your Cryopreservation Protocol Holding You Back?
The conventional way
Slower and more variable than it needs to be, particularly where serum-containing medium is made up fresh.
- ✘Prepare fresh freezing medium
- ✘Use a controlled-rate freezer or freezing container
- ✘Transfer to liquid nitrogen for long-term storage
- ✘Accept batch-to-batch variation from serum
The Bambanker™ way
A simple, fast, ready-to-use medium that gives consistent results from one batch to the next.
- ✔Resuspend cells in ready-to-use Bambanker™
- ✔Place vials directly in a -80°C freezer
- ✔Store long term without liquid nitrogen
- ✔Reproducible, defined formulations
Post-thaw recovery
Formulated to support high survival after thawing, including in sensitive cells.
No liquid nitrogen
Safe, long-term cell storage in a standard -80°C freezer.
No step-wise freezing
No controlled-rate freezer needed. Place samples directly at -80°C.
Ready to use
A complete, pre-formulated medium with no mixing or preparation.
Long-Term Stability at -80°C
A long-term trial shows that both adherent and suspension cells stored in Bambanker™ at -80°C maintain their viability for up to 5 years, so liquid nitrogen isn’t needed for reliable long-term storage.
Viability of cells stored in Bambanker™ at -80°C for up to 60 months.
Choosing the Right Bambanker™
Every Bambanker™ medium is ready to use, free of fetal bovine serum and antibiotics, and freezes cells directly at -80°C. They differ in what they are built to protect.

Trusted by Leading Institutions
Bambanker™ is used by cell banks and researchers worldwide and has been cited in over 250 peer-reviewed publications.
“The cell lines, which were stored with Bambanker™, showed much higher cell proliferation… we will completely change to Bambanker™ in order to improve the survival rate and growth of our cells.”
