Question

Cell bank vials are typically stored in the Liquid Nitrogen.

True

False

Answer 1

True, cell bank vikas are stored at liquid nitrogen .Liquid nitrogen help in the preservation of genome.During the storage process of cell bank vials are stored in the freezer having liquid nitrogen maintained at -196 degree celsius temperature.During the cryopreservation,different salts present in cell lines reduces the freezing temperature, when water is converted into ice there is decrease in the solute concentration and also their toxicity is reduced .This is the use of liquid nitrogen at -196degrre celsius.
