The invention relates to a cryopreservation device (1), in particular for the cryopreservation of living cellular three-dimensional structures such as tissue engineered valves (16), tubes (21), vessels. The proposed cryopreservation device comprises a liquid tight cavity (19) with an outer form element (4) and an inner form element (10), wherein outer, optionally coated surface portions (13-15, 22) of said form elements (4, 10) are bordering a contiguous, three-dimensionally shaped portion of said liquid tight cavity (19) and wherein the distance between surface portions (13) of the inner form element (10) and surface portions (22) of the outer form element (4) is in the range between 0.1-10 mm, preferably between 0.5-5 mm. |
