6. The products arrived! Now what do I do?

• Place the cells in liquid nitrogen storage
• For the RoosterNourish™ Media:
• Store the RoosterBasal™ in 2-8°C refrigerator (protect it from light)
• Store the RoosterBooster™ in -20°C freezer
• Store the RoosterReplenish™ in -20°C freezer
• Store the EV Boost™ in a 2-8°C refrigerator (protect it from light)

7. I ordered my cells and media, but when my order arrived, I couldn't find the cells. Help!

Do not worry! RoosterBio sometimes uses a nest configuration in one large box when shipping cells and media together. Inside the large box is the RoosterBasal™ on cold bricks, along with a smaller box. The smaller box is layered with dry ice, the RoosterBooster™ and the cell vial. Please make sure to remove the RoosterBooster™ and dig deeper into the box for the cell vial.

8. I'm ready to use the RoosterNourish™ Media Kit. What do I do? How long can I use the media?

Bring the Media Kit to room temperature. In a hood, pipet the 10mL RoosterBooster™ into the 500mL RoosterBasal™. Once combined, store the media at 2-8°C for 2 weeks, ensuring that it is protected from light.

9. Do I need to heat inactivate the media?

No, you do not.

10. Can I request a specific lot of cells?

Absolutely! RoosterBio has a donor grid that includes age, gender, population doubling level (PDL), differentiation and flow markers. Contact Customer Support for the donor grid.
