EIBC begins service for live-cell storage
The EIBC recently opened a new service line to store live cells in liquid nitrogen (LN2)! In contrast to storage of materials such as DNA, proteins, bacteria, cell pellets, and processed samples, which can be stored in the EIBC’s -80ºC Hamilton freezer, live cellular samples require liquid nitrogen (LN2) cryogenic preservation (-175 ºC). The EIBC currently has capacity to store 6000 tubes in a large LN2 Dewar.
