Post-storage colony-forming ability of cADMSCs. cADMSCs were suspended in various carrier solutions at 4 °C for different time points and formed colonies in all experimental groups. 1% crystal violet was used for staining and clusters with > 50 cells were considered colonies. Cells not stored in carrier solutions served as controls. The results are representative of three independent experiments. The bar graph represents the mean ± SD. cADMSCs - canine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells, Saline - 0.9% saline, PBS - Phosphate-buffered saline, 5% DS - 5% Dextrose solution, Hepa-Sal - Heparin in saline, HS - Hartmann’s solution
