Cryomacs Freezing Bags – A Critical Component in the Successful Delivery of Biological Samples and Therapies

Roots Analysis

While some biobanks ( especially non-clinical ones ) use mechanical freezers for storage, liquid nitrogen is one of the most reliable cryostorage mediums. Therefore, in order to store and preserve such enormous amounts of blood, single-use assemblies are a necessity.
