Technical Field

Background

When the biological sample is stored at low temperature, the water form in the organism is in a range of 0 ℃ to-60 ℃, hexagonal ice crystals are formed, the life activity in cells is more active in the temperature range, and the hexagonal ice crystals can seriously damage cell membranes and organelles. When the temperature reaches the range of-60 ℃ to-80 ℃, the vital activity in the cells is obviously reduced in the range, the cells can form square ice blocks, and the damage to cell membranes and organelles is weakened, so that people can store the living cells in the ultra-low temperature refrigerator. However, the biochemical activity of the cells still proceeds at such temperatures, which is a constant aging process for the cells, and thus the storage of living cells under such temperature conditions is not recommended. As the temperature is lowered, the biochemical reaction activity in the cells approaches the process of stopping when the temperature is lowered to-130 ℃, and the temperature is the optimum temperature for living cells and tissues to store.

The reagent and the sample such as urine tissue for extracting biomacromolecules can be safely stored for a long time as the proper temperature is provided. For living cells, in addition to the prevailing temperature, i.e.below-130 ℃, a suitable cooling process is required.

For living cells, if the temperature reduction speed is too fast, water in the living cells cannot penetrate into the outside, so hexagonal ice crystals can be formed in the cells, cell membranes can be damaged, organelles can be damaged, and the cells can die. If the temperature of the cells is too slow, osmotic pressure is generated inside and outside the cell walls in the slow temperature reduction process, so that the cells are dehydrated, and the concentration of salt in the cells is increased, so that the cells are damaged. Therefore, for the cell activity, before the cells are put into a liquid nitrogen tank for safe storage, different stages of proper temperature reduction are provided, and different temperature reduction rates are adopted, which is very important. Therefore, the cell injury can be effectively reduced, and the recovery rate is improved.

The three cooling instruments are widely applied, and simultaneously, the respective weaknesses are exposed.

Firstly, the programmed cooling box is only suitable for some cells or tissues insensitive to temperature, the freezing time of the cells is slow, the cooling rate is uncontrollable, generally 3-4 hours, the cells are placed in a liquid nitrogen tank for safe storage, and the cell survival rate is very low;

Finally, the general cells and cell tissues are cooled to-60 ℃ or-80 ℃ by a lifting cooling instrument, and then can directly enter a liquid nitrogen container for storage, the lifting cooling instrument is adopted, a test sample is carried out in a gas phase area in a liquid nitrogen container, so that the size and the shape of the sample are constrained by the space geometry of the liquid nitrogen container, the gas phase area in the liquid nitrogen container is communicated with the air, the temperature gradient of the gas phase area is easily influenced by the surrounding environment, and the size of the sample in the temperature gradient direction in the liquid nitrogen container cannot be too large.
