<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cryopreservation process that stabilizes cells during freezing. <P>SOLUTION: There are provided methods and apparatus for cryopreserving biological materials for extended periods of time. The method comprises suspending biological materials in a cryosolution, freezing the biological materials in the apparatus, and removing the frozen biological materials from the apparatus to thaw them for use. Further, a cell cryopreservation solution is provided which includes 20% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to maintain the viability of cells upon freezing, storage, and thawing. The media can be used for cryopreservation of a wide variety of different cell types from various sources. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
