Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to clarify the possibility of a rapid cryopreservation for cell line Paesun by cooling in the range of 30-40 °C/min to vapor phase of -120 ∼-140 °C before immersion into liquid phase of liquid nitrogen using 10% Me2SO. After thawing, these cells were examined with assaying viability by trypan blue exclusion staining and survival by cloning in monolayer; the percentages of cell and colony recovery obtained in rapid cooling had a tendency to be lower than that by slow cooling of 1 °C/min but there were no significant differences between them. In addition, post-thaw cells were examined by assaying proliferation and susceptibility to virus lines; there were no significant differences between before and after cryopreservation. In conclusion, these findings indicate that Paesun can be successfully cryopreserved by the rapid cooling rate of 30 °C-40 °C/min.

Heating and Cooling Curves
For instance, the addition of heat raises the temperature of a solid; the amount of heat absorbed depends on the heat capacity of the solid (q = mcsolidΔT). According to thermochemistry, the relation between the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance, q, and its...

Basic Characteristics of Cells
A living cell has a plasma membrane, a bilayer of lipids that separates the aqueous solution inside the cell called the cytoplasm from the outside environment.
