Cryopreservation refers to the storage of a Living organism, cell or tissue at ultra-low temperatures such that it can be restored to the same viable state as before it was frozen. Storage for an indefinite amount of time requires samples to be maintained below the glass transition temperature of aqueous solutions, approximately -130°C, the temperature at which frozen water no longer sublimes and recrystallizes. Therefore -150°C mechanical freezers or liquid nitrogen storage tanks are required for long-term preservation. In the late 19th century Sir James Dewar, a Scottish chemist and physicist,...

CBS Isothermal Freezers: No liquid nitrogen contact Liquid nitrogen is, like all liquids, a possible transporter of contaminants. Contamination between samples, leakage of liquid nitrogen into sample vials during storage and contact of liquid nitrogen with skin are just some of the risks that can be eliminated with an Isothermal liquid nitrogen dry storage freezer from Custom BioGenic Systems (CBS). CBS Isothermal freezers feature a patented liquid nitrogen jacket to provide uniform storage temperatures in the -190ºC range, free from liquid nitrogen contact. In the year 2000 Custom Biogenic Systems...

The innovative design of CBS Isothermal freezers eliminates a number of major risks of traditional LN2 storage, including: • Cross contamination: Studies have shown that viral, bacterial and fungal pathogens can survive after suspension in liquid nitrogen. Infected samples can cross contaminate other samples in the same liquid nitrogen tank. • Loss of samples: Storage directly in liquid nitrogen can make vials shrink. This may cause liquid nitrogen to seep into the vials, which on re arming, expand w and subsequently explode as nitrogen vapourzes i inside the vials. • Health and safety: Traditional...
