Question

What are the benefits of freshly isolated adipocytes in comparison to frozen stock precursor cells?

Answer 1

Adipocytes are also called as fat cells that store energy in the form of fat. Freshly isolated adipocytes offer multiple benefits that make them preferable choice over the frozen counterpart,

• The cell's viability is affected as the survival rate post thawing is reduced. Ultimately this would lead to loss of important resource if those cell lines were rare and unique, which makes freshly isolated are a wise choice.
• Cellular functions are affected by the chemicals used to thaw the cells and may lead to scientific misinterpretation.
• The duration of storage time also affects the cell's function.
• Variations in the cell thawing can also have an impact on the cell's viability.

Hence all these factors make freshly isolated adipocytes favorable over frozen stock precursor cells.
