Why Are Cryogenic Freezers Important in Histology?
Cryogenic freezers play a vital role in Histology for several reasons: - Preservation of Samples: They ensure long-term preservation of tissue samples, cells, and other biological specimens without significant loss of integrity. - Minimizing Degradation: At cryogenic temperatures, biochemical reactions and enzymatic activities are drastically slowed down, minimizing the degradation of samples. - Maintaining Viability: For certain applications, such as cryopreservation of cells and tissues, cryogenic freezers help maintain cell viability for future analysis or transplantation.
