Biopreservation Best Practices For Your Cryopreservation Process May Optimize Your Post-Thaw Viable Recovery
Cell-based therapies originate from biological starting materials like blood, bone marrow, or tissue. The cells obtained often require specialized processes and temperature-sensitive protection to remain viable throughout the bioproduction lifecycle. Cryopreservation, or the process of freezing biological materials at ultra-low or cryogenic temperatures, is one of these processes. At low temperatures cell metabolism which might […]
