Cryogenic Temperatures and Cell Viability

by

This webcast features: Dr. Peter Kilbride and Dr. Julie Meneghel, Senior Research Scientist and Cryobiologist, GE Healthcare Life Science In this webinar, we will address fundamentals of cryobiology to (1) understand why a cryopreservation protocol is needed, (2) see what happens biologically to cells while cooling, and (3) allow attendees to design an optimized protocol for their cell type and cryopreservation configuration (e.g., sample size). We will cover the importance of applying controlled-rate cooling and how to best tune it to…
