What is cryopreservation?

Cryopreservation is the process to preserve human tissue using liquid nitrogen (flash freezing). At such low temperatures (-196°C), the cells are in a state of suspended animation where all metabolic activities stop. Use of cryoprotectant has made this process safer for the samples and has significantly increased the survival rate of the sample in the thawing process.
