ultra-cold storage

Ultra-cold storage refers to a method of keeping materials, particularly biological samples like cells or tissues, at very low temperatures, often below -80 degrees Celsius (-112 degrees Fahrenheit). This process effectively slows down biochemical reactions and preserves the integrity of the samples over extended periods. It is commonly used in laboratories and hospitals to maintain the viability of vaccines, organ transplants, and research specimens. By minimizing chemical activity, ultra-cold storage safeguards these materials for future use, ensuring they remain effective and reliable when needed.
