Summary

While the freezing of cell suspensions is easy to handle since the discovery of cryoprotective agents, the cryopreservation of living tissue is still problematic today. Sophisticated controlled rate freezers for biological samples provide a high cooling performance as well as outstanding freezing rates which should allow reproducible tissue freezing. However, the required temperature homogeneity for multiple sample positions cannot be achieved even with the freezing equipment for biological samples currently available. For this reason, we have developed a range of thermal management units. For instance, our novel Multiwell RACK can cryopreserve up to 96 tissue models by use of the microwell format.
