Biopharmaceutical Cryogenics

Biopharmaceutical Cryogenics. This refers to equipment and practices directed at the safe long-term storage of viable cells, tissues, etc., normally associated with disciplines such as cell-based therapies, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, gene therapy, cell transplantation and biopharmaceutical research. Biopreservation can be defined as the process of reversibly arresting the biochemical reactions and therefore the metabolism of an organism in order to sustain function after prolonged exposure to otherwise lethal conditions. The state of the art for the preservation of most mammalian cells is cryopreservation, which requires processing at very low temperatures and storage in liquid nitrogen. There are many cryogenic storage vessels designed and manufactured to realize these goals.
