Abstract
An apparatus holds or stores at least one vial containing a vaccine or other material to be cryogenically preserved. The method passively regulates the rate of cooling for vaccines or other cryopreserved materials by using the enthalpy of fusion of at least one phase-change material (PCM) to control the rate of cooling when subject to a low temperature or cryogenic storage environment.
