Cryopreservation

Cryopreservation is a process used to preserve biological material, such as cells, tissues, organs or even entire organisms, at extremely low temperatures. This process is beneficial because it operates by stopping all metabolic processes, and therefore, preserves the material in almost the exact condition it was in before the process. This makes it very useful for many medical, agricultural, and even some industrial applications. For example, it can be used to preserve vital organs for transplants, extend the shelf life of food products, or even for the storage of certain materials for future use.
