When freezing cells, too much
time is spent in the process that precedes freezing, which can lead
to unconrtollable growth of cells. AcryCELL is a container that allows the cells to be frozen inside a 96 well plate rather than a cryovial. Freezing cells in a 96 well plate optimises
the cell freezing process, giving scientists more time for other lab tasks. AcryCELL also makes it easier for scientists to manage cell growth, therefore freezing cells less often. AcryCELL is manufactured from 6mm sheet acrylic to insulate the cells. Isopropanol fills gaps inside the container for extra insulation.
Insulation is needed to slow the rate of freezing down to -1oC per minute. This number must be maintained in order for the cells to have the best chance of survival. AcryCELL provides optimal insulation with
a combination of 6mm acrylic and isopropanol to provide the cells with perfect conditions for freezing.
