Title: Innovations in Cryopreservation by Christopher B Bare
Introduction
Christopher B Bare is an accomplished inventor based in San Francisco, CA. He has made significant contributions to the field of plant cell cryopreservation, holding 2 patents that focus on innovative methods for preserving plant cells.
Latest Patents
His latest patents revolve around the cryopreservation of plant cells. The methods provided involve pre-treating plant cells with a solution containing a cryoprotective agent and a stabilizer. These pre-treated cells are acclimated to reduced temperatures and loaded with agents such as DMSO, propylene glycol, or polyethylene glycol. The cells are then incubated with a vitrification solution, allowing them to retain less than about 20% water content. This process enables the cells to be frozen at cryopreservation temperatures for extended periods without significantly altering their genotypic or phenotypic characteristics. Additionally, the invention includes methods for recovering viable plant cells from cryopreservation, ensuring that they can be successfully thawed and incubated in a suitable growth medium.
