Importance of Cryogenic Preservation in Medical Science At present, medical science has advanced so much that it believes in reviving the dead. Cryogenic preservation is one of the techniques for doctors, researchers, and scientists interested in storing biological materials, such as human and animal cells. It is used to store biological materials at low temperatures (196°C). It is used when nitrogen is in its gaseous state.

Usage of Cryogenic Preservatives All those professionals who are concerned with the research work use cryogenic preservatives. And these people are called cytogenetic technologists. They study the chromosomes and the relationship between chromosomes and diseases that affect human beings and animals, along with the role that chromosomes play in human development. These chromosomes are found in the bone marrow, blood, and amniotic fluids, etc. So, cryogenic preservatives are needed to "freeze" these chromosomes so that cytogenetic technologists can analyse and carry out development and research to deal with problems due to chromosomes, such as Down's syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, miscarriages, fertility issues, and many other diseases.
