5% Me2SO is sufficient to preserve stem cells derived from cord blood.
On the basis of historical findings, 10% dimethylsulfoxide is still used to cryopreserve stem cells. We studied a final concentration of 5% dimethylsulfoxide in cryopreservation of cord blood-derived stem cells in autologous plasma. In our opinion, a final concentration of 5% dimethylsulfoxide in autologous plasma without further additives is sufficient for cryopreservation of cord blood stem cells in a banking routine.
