Frequently Asked Questions
What is cryogenic storage?
Cryogenic sample storage uses very low temperatures to preserve appropriately prepared biological materials over time. Trepte provides vapor-phase liquid nitrogen storage for cell banks, cell lines, and other cryopreserved samples.
What is the range of cryogenic storage that Trepte Biostorage offers?
Trepte provides vapor-phase liquid nitrogen storage with continuous temperature monitoring. Samples are maintained within the system’s qualified operating range, with storage requirements confirmed during onboarding.
Is cryogenic storage better than ultra-low temperature storage?
Ultra-low temperature storage for biological and life science specimens ranges from -60°C to as low as -80°C. Cryogenic storage for biological and life science specimens are typically below -150°C. While both ULT and cryogenic storage are great for long-term storage of critical specimens, which temperature you use depends on the application that needs storage.
In addition, you'll want to consider the budget, safety, stability, and other requirements you have for that specific application.
Learn more about the different application types and what storage solution is best by scheduling a consultation with one of our experts.
What types of samples need cryogenic storage?
It is recommended that stem cells, reproductive tissues, genetic materials, and other critical biological samples require cryogenic storage for optimal preservation. Get in touch to learn more about how Trepte Biostorage can help you with your cryogenic needs.
