All about Cryopreservation: Applications, Cryovials, Avoiding Contamination
What is Cryopreservation? In simple terms, it is the process of storing biological material at ultra-low temperatures (usually at -196 degree celsius) in order to preserve it for a long period and stop any biological activity it may have during that time. Now this is different from freezing which might be fatal for biological material as it changes the sample chemically because of intra- and extracellular ice crystals being formed.
Applications of Cryopreservation This preservation technique finds extensive utility across various fields, including molecular biology, Stem cell biology, food science, plant physiology, and numerous medical applications. Notably, cryopreservation serves as a crucial method in: Seed Bank: Safeguarding plant genetic diversity and rare seeds. Gene Bank: Preserving genetic material for research and conservation purposes. Blood Transfusion: Ensuring the availability of safe and compatible blood for transfusion.
In Vitro Fertilization: Facilitating assisted reproduction by preserving embryos and oocytes. Organ Transplantation: Preserving organs for transplantation, extending the viability window. Storage of Rare Germplasm: Protecting valuable genetic resources critical for agriculture and research. Freezing of Cell Cultures: Preserving cell lines essential for various scientific studies. Conservation of Endangered Plant Species: Aiding the preservation of threatened plant species. Biodiversity Conservation: Contributing to the protection of various living organisms and ecosystems
Accumax Cryovials are meticulously designed to ensure convenience and sample integrity.
With a temperature stability of up to -196 degree celsius, Accumax cryovials are designed to maximize ease of use and protect sample integrity. Made with US FDA approved raw materials, our cryovials are ideal for storing biological material in cryopreservation. Since our beginning in 2003, Accumax has come to become one of the largest producers of laboratory consumables globally and cater to customers in over 130 countries across the world.
Using Cryovials for cryopreservation A cryovial is basically a “vial” or tube that is used to contain the biological samples intended for ultra-low temperature storage. Now, this small container is probably one of the most important parts of cryopreservation. The integrity and safety of the samples depends highly on the quality of cryovial used. There are many things that can go wrong during this time.
Leakage of the bottle Chemical reaction with the cryovial material Other types of contamination Loss of identification especially when more than one sample is stored. Basically, the wrong choice of cryovials can result in the loss of years of priceless research and valuable biological material.
