Reply to comment by Magnetic_Syncopation in If freezing tissue generally damages the cells, how are we able to freeze human eggs and embryos for birthing later? by badblackguy

Lab I work in uses a mixture of RPMI (think a pH balanced salt solution with nutrients in it), fetal bovine serum, and DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) for cryopreservation of human immune cells.

Though the only cryopreservant in that is the DMSO. The rest is just a standard supplemented growth medium.
