Cell bank storage

Cell banks are collections of cells that are stored for future use in research, clinical applications, and biomanufacturing. Proper cell bank storage is crucial to maintain the viability and genetic stability of this starting material.

After cell banking (vial filling and freezing step), cells should be stored at an appropriate temperature: eukaryotic cell lines must be stored at a temperature below -145°C for long-term cell bank storage.

Combining cell banking services in accordance with non-GMP and GMP specifications, Clean Cells offers unique long-term cell bank storage services.

Eukaryotic cells
(mammalian, avian, insects)

When it comes to storing eukaryotic cells at ultra-low temperatures below -145°C, specialized equipment is required for cell bank storage. This includes liquid- or vapor-phase nitrogen tanks (known as LN2 containers or dewars) or ultra-low temperature freezers capable of functioning at -150°C or below.

Clean Cells is a cell bank storage service provider that offers a dedicated area within their facility for ultra-low temperature storage of eukaryotic cells, providing various options:

  • Dedicated or shared containers with individual boxes provided in the latter case, 
  • Pharmaceutical grade vapor- or liquid-phase nitrogen: manual or automated nitrogen monitoring, continued temperature monitoring, and automated nitrogen filling.
  • Externalized alarm system with a 24/7 on-call response team
  • Back-up dewars for added security of cell bank storage.

Reagents (-20°C, +4°C)

Complementary to cell bank storage, this storage environment is especially suitable for high-quality reagents or reagents with a very limited shelf life that we use in our laboratories during our biomanufacturing projects.

Please note that microbial (procaryotic) cell bank storage is performed under similar conditions to virus bank storage.
