Abstract
The present technology relates to apparatuses and methods for preserving biological material, for example cryopreserved biological material, such as cells, tissues, and organs for storage and/or transport. Apparatuses and methods of the present technology preserve biological material at a target temperature within a range of 8° C. to −40° C. for extended periods of time, for example at least 4 hours. The target temperature and extended period of time may be achieved with the use of cold sources such as phase change materials (PCMs) in combination with insulation materials, such as vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) and/or aerogels.
