syväjäädytysvarasto

Syväjäädytysvarasto, often translated as cryogenic storage or deep freezing storage, refers to a facility or system designed for the preservation of biological materials at extremely low temperatures. These temperatures are typically achieved using liquid nitrogen, which boils at -196 degrees Celsius (-321 degrees Fahrenheit), or through mechanical refrigeration systems capable of reaching similar ultra-low temperatures. The primary purpose of syväjäädytysvarasto is to halt or significantly slow down biological and chemical degradation processes, thereby maintaining the viability and integrity of stored samples over extended periods.

The applications of syväjäädytysvarasto are diverse and critical in various scientific and medical fields. In cryobanks, it is used to store human reproductive cells such as sperm and eggs, as well as embryos, for fertility treatments and future family planning. Stem cells, essential for regenerative medicine and research, are also commonly cryopreserved. Research institutions utilize syväjäädytysvarasto to preserve cell lines, tissues, microorganisms, and genetic material like DNA, which are crucial for ongoing scientific investigations and the development of new therapies. The long-term preservation offered by these facilities ensures that valuable biological resources are available for future use, even if the original source is no longer living or accessible. Maintaining the correct temperature and ensuring reliable power and cryogenic gas supply are paramount to the success of syväjäädytysvarasto.
