Frequently Asked Questions About Cryogenic Storage 

How long can biological samples remain viable in cryogenic storage?

When properly preserved at cryogenic temperatures below -132°C, biological samples can remain viable indefinitely. Studies have shown successful recovery of stem cells and other living cells after 20+ years of storage, with no significant loss of viability when proper protocols are followed.

What happens if there's a power outage to my cryogenic freezer?

Cryogenic freezers are designed with multiple backup systems. The primary mechanical system is supported by an automated LN2 backup that activates automatically if temperatures rise above -130°C. Even with complete power loss, properly maintained units can maintain critical temperatures for up to 72 hours, giving ample time for emergency response. In addition, Trepte Biostorage uses multiple LN2 distributors to ensure business continuity in the face of the unexpected.

What are the benefits of offsite LN2 sample storage?

Offsite cryogenic storage, provides critical risk mitigation through geographic separation of valuable biological materials, protecting against catastrophic events like natural disasters, fires, or facility failures that could compromise primary storage locations. Additionally, it offers significant operational advantages including purpose-built facilities with redundant systems, professional inventory management, 24/7 monitoring, regulatory compliance, and reduced capital investment - all while freeing up internal laboratory resources and providing scalable storage solutions without the need for infrastructure investment.
