Frequently Asked Questions
What is cryogenic storage?
Cryogenic storage systems use liquid nitrogen to maintain biological samples at ultra-low temperatures of -196°C (-320°F). Unlike mechanical freezers, true cryogenic storage completely halts all biological activity, ensuring perfect preservation of cells, tissues, and genetic materials for decades.
What is the range of cryogenic storage that Trepte Biostorage offers?
Cryogenic storage maintains samples at -196°C in liquid phase and -156°C in vapor phase, temperatures where all biological activity stops completely. Trepte Biostorage offers sample storage at both temperatures.
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.
