Product Description:
LiforCell® is for RESEARCH USE ONLY.
Lifor® is a tissue transport and preservation solution originally developed as an organ
preservation solution by Lifeblood Medical, Inc. This first generation solution, Lifor®, lead to
development of LiforCell®. This second generation solution was developed and tested as a replacement
and/or extender for Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). Testing demonstrated that LiforCell® with proper
titration of the cells can be used as an FBS replacement and/or extender.
LiforCell® has shown in preliminary testing on mouse ES stem cell to be an alternative to Fetal
Bovine Serum (FBS).
LiforCell® contains inorganic salts, amino acids, vitamins, adenosine, Cholesterol, Glucose, yeast
extract, and very few proteins.
LiforCell® has the capability to carry oxygen due to a unique, proprietary protein complex and therefore
has the ability to protect genetic contents and help cells to thrive.
LiforCell® is serum and animal protein free.
Storage and Stability:
Store LiforCell® at 4 to 8 C (refrigeration) away from light. At this storage temperature the
product will be stable for 12 months.
Applications:
LiforCell® can be used as a medium for growing cells from tumors and cultivating cells under
serum free conditions.
LiforCell® can also be used as an alternative to Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS).

USAGE:
LiforCell® can also be used as an alternative to Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). The usage of
LiforCell® is the same as FBS. For example: If a 10% solution of FBS is used, replace the FBS with the
same percentage of LiforCell®. It is important to note that use of a FBS reduction process is required.
Lifeblood Medical, Inc. does not recommend replacing FBS with LiforCell all at one time. Please follow
the process listed below:
When you receive your 100ml sample please use a reduction process to see if your cells can be grown
without the presence of FBS. In most cases LiforCell® can be used as the only supplement.
Please use the following example to work with the LiforCell® and FBS combination:
If 15% FBS is in use now then the first sample test will use 10% FBS and 5% LiforCell® in
combination.
Then reduce in sample number two to 5% FBS and 10% LiforCell® in combination.
Then the final sample will be 15% LiforCell® and no FBS.
The test should show that LiforCell® with your cell will probably require no FBS or less than 5% FBS. To
reduce to less than 5% FBS testing should be done at a reduction of 1% FBS and addition of 1% LiforCell
until the desired outcome is achieved.
