FAQ

What is life science cryogenics?

"Life science cryogenics" refers to the application of cryogenics in the so-called "life sciences," that is, fields such as biology, medicine, and other related disciplines. This specialized form of cryogenics focuses on freezing and storing biological samples, cells, tissues, and other living organisms at extremely low temperatures.

The application of cryogenics in the life sciences allows biological samples and materials to be preserved over long periods of time for subsequent analysis, experimentation, or medical applications. This may include disease research, development of new medical treatments, or preservation of genetic diversity. Life science cryogenics thus contributes significantly to the progress of biological research and medical applications.

What is cryopreservation?

Cryopreservation refers to the process of freezing biological material, such as cells, tissues or organs, at extremely low temperatures, usually using liquid nitrogen. This process is used to preserve the biological material over the long term to maintain its function and integrity for future use.

Cryopreservation plays a critical role in several fields, including medical research, reproductive medicine, organ transplantation, and biobanks or gene banks. Freezing at extremely low temperatures can slow or stop biological activity, increasing the shelf life and storability of biological material. It also allows for the preservation of genetic diversity and the ability to store biological samples for long periods of time without losing quality.

What is the difference between cryopreservation and cryopreservation?

Cryopreservation and cryopreservation are often used interchangeably. Both terms refer to the freezing of biological material to preserve it for the long term. There is no clear difference between the two terms, but sometimes "cryopreservation" is used to describe the process of freezing biological material for medical or scientific purposes, while "cryopreservation" may be a more general term.

What is a biological freezer (controlled rate freezer)?

A biological freezer or "controlled rate freezer" is a device used to freeze biological material such as cells, tissues or samples under controlled conditions. The purpose of this device is to ensure that the freezing process is slow and steady to minimize the formation of ice crystals that could damage the biological material.

By controlling the freezing process, cells and tissues can be better protected from the harmful effects of freezing. This is especially important when cryopreserving biological material for medical or scientific purposes, where subsequent use of the material must be assured without loss of quality. Controlled rate freezers help to ensure optimal conditions for the storage and subsequent use of frozen biological material.

What is a cryogenic storage container?

A "cryostorage container" is a special container or vessel used to store biological material at extremely low temperatures, usually using liquid nitrogen or other cryocoolants. These containers are designed to maintain the low temperatures and preserve the frozen material for long periods of time.

Cryostorage containers can have different sizes and configurations depending on the requirements and amount of biological material to be stored. They often have insulation materials and special sealing mechanisms to ensure that low temperatures can be maintained inside.

These containers are used in a variety of applications, from storing cells and tissues for medical research to preserving genetic material for future generations. Cryostorage containers play an important role in cryopreservation, providing safe, long-term storage of biological material at extreme temperatures.

What is a "Dry Shipper"?

A "Dry Shipper" is a special shipping container used to transport biological specimens, especially frozen biological material such as cells, tissue or sperm, under controlled temperatures. This container contains an insulating vacuum chamber or insulation that maintains a stable and low temperature inside.

A dry shipper typically contains liquid nitrogen to maintain the required low temperature. This allows for the safe transport of biological samples over long distances without compromising the biological samples. Dry shippers are commonly used in medical research, reproductive technologies, and cryopreservation to ensure that samples remain at optimal quality during transport.
