cryopreservation

Different cells, tissues, biofluids, and molecules have varying preservation needs.

A modular, closed system reduces errors and speeds up CAR T bioprocessing.

Commerically-available peripheral blood mononuclear cells offer a well-characterized, accessible, and consistent model for immunology and therapeutic development.

Scientists profiled whole blood samples to find the ideal storage environment for downstream single cell analyses.

Comparing the genomes of modern pathogens with those of cryopreserved strains from several decades ago shed light on the evolution of coffee wilt disease outbreaks in Africa.

Choose the right temperature and storage product for each type of specimen.

The company Cell Vault offers to hold consumers’ T cells for later use, but scientists suggest the service would benefit very few users.

A new cryoprotectant safeguards frozen cells against degradation.

The Microbiota Vault takes a holistic approach to preserving Earth’s microscopic diversity.

With the help of gold nanorods and a cryoprotectant, coral larvae are brought back to life after cryopreservation.

A project aims to preserve samples of the climate change–vulnerable animals for future restoration.

Mary Hagedorn is racing to save Earth’s coral reefs by developing techniques for freezing the colonial animals’ gametes.

In a first, scientists reanimate the fish using embedded gold nanoparticles that heat up cells by absorbing laser light.
