What is Cryopreservation?

Explanation

(i) Cryopreservation, also known as Cryo-conservation, is a process by which protoplasts, cells, tissues, organelles, organs, extracellular matrix, enzymes or any other biological materials are subjected to preservation by cooling to very low temperature of -196°C using liquid nitrogen.
(ii) Enzymatic or chemical activity of the biological material will be totally stopped and this leads to preservation of material in dormant status.
