Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS60105601
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Material which contains water, or is accompanied by an aqueous phase, notable biological cells, cell components or cell aggregates, or differentiated biological tissue is preserved by dispersion in an oil medium and under-cooling the dispersion, preferably to a temperature in the range -20° C to -40° C. The oil medium is characterised by the absence of surfractant which can catalyse ice formation and is an immobile gel at the storage temperature. The preferred oil medium is paraffin oil, or oil plus paraffin wax.
