Why it matters:
The system enhances the long-term viability of biological materials. Such a technology is beneficial for genetic researchers, breeders, and livestock owners, through keeping the samples intact for future genetic studies, selective breeding, and cloning initiatives.
Details:
The process involves maintaining samples at ultra-low temperatures, typically -196°C in liquid nitrogen. It effectively halts biological activity, preventing genetic degradation and enabling long-term storage with minimal loss of viability.
Key points:
- Maintaining invaluable genetic resources to restore rare breeds
- An aid for reviving extinct species
- Cryogenic storage is the core component of the preservation method
