Frysesentre

Frysesentre are facilities designed for the long-term preservation of biological materials at very low temperatures, typically in the range of -80°C to -196°C. These ultra-low temperatures are achieved using specialized freezers or liquid nitrogen. The primary purpose of frysesentre is to maintain the viability and integrity of samples for extended periods, preventing degradation and allowing for future use in research, diagnostics, or conservation efforts.

Commonly stored materials include cell cultures, tissues, DNA, RNA, proteins, microorganisms, and sometimes even whole organisms or genetic material like sperm and eggs. The meticulous organization and cataloging of samples are crucial for efficient retrieval. Frysesentre often employ sophisticated inventory management systems to track the location and status of each sample. Strict protocols for access, handling, and temperature monitoring are implemented to ensure sample security and prevent contamination or thawing. These centers play a vital role in scientific research, enabling the study of diseases, the development of new therapies, and the preservation of biodiversity. They are essential infrastructure for many research institutions, hospitals, and biobanks.
