Every Sample Matters: The Dangers of Dry Ice

A Dry Ice Alternative for Lab Samples

Most labs rely on dry ice to transport cryopreserved cells. But what if that “cold” transport method is doing more harm than good? Dry ice is -80°C—far warmer than the critical -135°C threshold where biological activity truly halts. The shock from that temperature gap can impair or even kill cells, especially during repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

In this video, we explore the hidden risks of dry ice, the science of the glass transition point, and the smarter way to protect your cryopreserved material.

Learn how to upgrade your cold chain so that you can safeguard every cell!
