Abstract
Gel-based medium compositions and a method of use thereof in normothermic, hypothermic or cryopreservative storage and transport of cell samples are described. These gel-based compositions contain a cell maintenance and preservation medium together with a gelling agent. Such gel-based medium compositions protect various cell samples, such as animal or plant organs, tissues and cells, from the mechanical, physiological and biochemical stresses inherently associated with liquid preservation techniques.
