  2. Cryopreservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryopreservation

    Cryopreservation or cryoconservation is a process where biological material - cells, tissues, or organs - are frozen to preserve the material for an extended period of time. [1] At low temperatures (typically −80 °C (−112 °F) or −196 °C (−321 °F) using liquid nitrogen ) any cell metabolism which might cause damage to the biological ...

  3. Cryobiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryobiology

    At least six major areas of cryobiology can be identified: 1) study of cold-adaptation of microorganisms, plants (cold hardiness), and animals, both invertebrates and vertebrates (including hibernation), 2) cryopreservation of cells, tissues, gametes, and embryos of animal and human origin for (medical) purposes of long-term storage by cooling to temperatures below the freezing point of water.

  4. Plant cryopreservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_cryopreservation

    Plant cryopreservation is a genetic resource conservation strategy that allows plant material, such as seeds, pollen, shoot tips or dormant buds to be stored indefinitely in liquid nitrogen. [1] After thawing, these genetic resources can be regenerated into plants and used on the field.

  5. Cryoconservation of animal genetic resources - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryoconservation_of_animal...

    Semen, embryos, oocytes, somatic cells, nuclear DNA, and other types of biomaterial such as blood and serum can be stored using cryopreservation, in order to preserve genetic materials. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The primary benefit of cryoconservation is the ability to save germplasms for extended periods of time, therefore maintaining the genetic diversity ...

  6. Oocyte cryopreservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oocyte_cryopreservation

    Oocyte cryopreservation is a procedure to preserve a woman's eggs . The technique is often used to delay pregnancy. At the time pregnancy is desired, the eggs can be thawed, fertilized, and transferred to the uterus as embryos. Many studies have suggested infertility problems as germ cell deterioration related to aging. [1]

  7. Cell bank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_bank

    A cell bank is a facility that stores cells of specific genome for the purpose of future use in a product or medicinal needs, but can also describe the entity of stored cells itself. Cell banks often contain expansive amounts of base cell material that can be utilized for various projects.

  8. Embryo cryopreservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryo_cryopreservation

    In current state of the art, early embryos having undergone cryopreservation implant at the same rate as equivalent fresh counterparts. [2] The outcome from using cryopreserved embryos has uniformly been positive with no increase in birth defects or development abnormalities, [3] [8] also between fresh versus frozen eggs used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). [9]

  9. Cryoprecipitate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryoprecipitate

    After thawing, single units of cryo (or units pooled using a sterile method) can be stored at 20–24 °C for up to 6 hours. If units of cryo are pooled in an open system, they can only be held at 20–24 °C for up to 4 hours. [3] Presently cryo cannot be re-frozen for storage after it is thawed for use if it is not transfused.
