    摘要: The present invention provides methods for providing cartilage-containing tissue for grafting, comprising providing excised cartilage-containing tissue; and treating said excised cartilage-containing and cryogenically preserving the treated cartilage-containing tissue under appropriate cryogenic preservation conditions so as to yield cryogenically preserved cartilage-containing tissue having at least 10% viable chondrocytes throughout the cartilage portion of the cartilage-containing tissue after preservation, as tested in a live/dead ratio assay. Treatment may comprise providing one or a plurality of incisions in said cartilage portion to a predetermined depth therein and/or introducing a cryoprotectant agent at least into said cartilage portion. The invention also provides viable cartilage obtainable by the methods of the invention, methods of grafting such preserved, viable cartilage containing tissue in a recipient, as well as apparatuses, vessels and systems for preparing a cartilage-containing tissue for cryogenic preservation and subsequent grafting in a recipient.

    摘要: 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.
