What is Cryopreservation?
In simple terms, it is the process of storing
biological material at ultra-low temperatures
(usually at -196 degree celsius) in order to
preserve it for a long period and stop any
biological activity it may have during that
time. Now this is different from freezing which
might be fatal for biological material as it
changes the sample chemically because of intra-
and extracellular ice crystals being formed.

Applications of Cryopreservation
This preservation technique finds extensive
utility across various fields, including
molecular biology, Stem cell biology, food
science, plant physiology, and numerous medical
applications. Notably, cryopreservation serves as
a crucial method in

• Seed Bank Safeguarding plant genetic diversity
  and rare seeds.
• Gene Bank Preserving genetic material for
  research and conservation purposes.
• Blood Transfusion Ensuring the availability of
  safe and compatible blood for transfusion.

• In Vitro Fertilization Facilitating assisted
  reproduction by preserving embryos and oocytes.
• Organ Transplantation Preserving organs for
  transplantation, extending the viability window.
• Storage of Rare Germplasm Protecting valuable
  genetic resources critical for agriculture and
  research.
• Freezing of Cell Cultures Preserving cell lines
  essential for various scientific studies.
• Conservation of Endangered Plant Species Aiding
  the preservation of threatened plant species.
• Biodiversity Conservation Contributing to the
  protection of various living organisms and
  ecosystems

Using Cryovials for cryopreservation
A cryovial is basically a vial or tube that is
used to contain the biological samples intended
for ultra-low temperature storage. Now, this
small container is probably one of the most
important parts of cryopreservation. The
integrity and safety of the samples depends
highly on the quality of cryovial used. There are
many things that can go wrong during this time.

• Leakage of the bottle
• Chemical reaction with the cryovial material
• Other types of contamination
• Loss of identification especially when more than
  one sample is stored.
• Basically, the wrong choice of cryovials can
  result in the loss of years of priceless research
  and valuable biological material.
