A Comparison of Liquid Nitrogen and Liquid Nitrogen-free Cell Freezers for Research: Benefits and Drawbacks
Having a proper cryopreservation protocol is critical for many researchers that need to preserve and store biological samples. This is especially important for researchers in cell biology, regenerative medicine, and/or biobanking. The goal of a cryopreservation...
How Mechanical Stretching Can Help Tissue Engineering Research
In tissue engineering experiments, researchers often focus on techniques for growing cells on synthetic materials. Natural tissue has complex 3D structures with different cell types located in specific regions that are connected with a matrix of protein...
Cell Viability After Cryopreservation: The Lowdown
The most important part of cryopreservation is cell viability after thawing. Cells can remain viable for years in a state of suspended animation under cryopreservation.
