Title:
FREEZER AND FREEZING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/158479
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are: a freezer for quickly vitrifying a subject to be frozen such as cells by using a spray flow containing ultralow-temperature solid microparticles in freezing so as to achieve a high cell survival rate at thawing; and a freezing method using same. The freezer for freezing a subject to be frozen such as cells, said freezer comprising: a cryopreservation container 60 that houses the subject to be frozen such as cells; and a spray part that continuously sprays a high-speed spray flow containing ultralow-temperature solid microparticles to the cryopreservation container 60 so as to freeze the subject to be frozen that is housed in the cryopreservation container. This freezer is provided with a support part 71 that supports the cryopreservation container 60 and a spray position-changing part 72 (spray position-changing means) that changes a spray position of the high-seed spray flow to the cryopreservation container supported by the support part 71.
