Discovery is major step forward in increased availability of organs and tissues for transplantation

Frozen storage of biological materials has become an essential activity in many laboratories

New way to preserve blood could make blood-bank supplies last longer and potentially save more lives 

The Frozen Zoo® is the largest, most diverse collection of cell lines in the world.

As one might imagine, cryopreservation is fraught with dangers and serious potential hazards.

Problem: In almost any laboratory or scientific research facility today, there are numerous devices, instruments or processes that require cryogenic fluids or gases supplied from cryogenic sources. The past quarter-century has seen cryogenic liquid cylinders expand from a rarity in laboratories with relatively few applications, to become the dominant mode of supplying high-purity gas and cryogenic fluids.
