Abstract

There are provided a system and a method for cryopreserving a liquid biological material disposed in a bag having a longitudinal axis. The system comprises a bag holder for holding the bag, so that the biological material therein has a surface area S, and a volume V, a tank containing a cryogenic fluid, a mechanism for the immersion of the bag holder into the tank along the longitudinal axis, an opening in the tank for insertion therethrough of the bag holder, and a guide member extending from the opening into the tank. There are further provided a system and a method for warming a cryopreserved liquid biological material disposed in a bag. The system comprises a heat source, a warming device having a space for placing the bag therein, connected to the heat source and adapted to transfer heat from the heat source to the bag, and means for maintaining the heat source in heat transfer contact with a cryogenically preserved portion of the material to allow receiving the heat by said cryogenically preserved portion.
