The design and implementation of a large-scale biologic repository is typically an exercise in converting a basic warehouse-type building into a highly sophisticated storage facility. A model for a repository with infrastructure to accommodate 100 units for subambient temperature storage is utilized. We present an outline of the design process and considerations, timelines, and a cost model. Included are guides for determining the floor space required, and recommendations for establishing engineering design features. Our model projects a 7000-square foot facility, requiring 6 to 8 months to design and build, uses 30 freezer units at start-up, with an initial cost of $1.5 to $2.5 million.

Vitrification is the solidification of a solution without crystallization, caused by an increase of viscosity. It results from a balance between the highest realizable cooling rates and the highest concentrations of cryoprotectants (CPA) not toxic for the cells for the period of exposure. To vitrify with reduced CPA concentrations the cooling rates have to be increased. The objective of our study was to verify the thermal feasibility of a vitrification process using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. The first step in our stepwise approach to our project is focused on an ultrarapid freezing process in absence of cryoprotectants. The main parameters which influence the cooldown and increased cooling rate inside the biologic material (e.g., the thermophysical parameters, the size and the shape of the specimen) have been investigated. In our test cases the living material is considered frozen by direct contact with a surface at cryogenic temperature. Both numerical values and false color images of t...

Liquid cooled boar semen is highly susceptible to lipid peroxidation and capacitation in vitro during storage, which results in reduced fertility and litter sizes following artificial insemination (AI). Antioxidants can delay lipid peroxidation in vitro and therefore potentially extend the lifespan of stored semen. Lowbush blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium Aiton) and their leaves contain high antioxidant capacity, making them potential candidates for preserving liquid cooled boar semen during storage. This study compared the reversible ability of blueberry extract, leaf extract, and the antioxidant quercetin to prevent capacitation of extended, cooled boar semen during storage for 1 week. The results indicated that blueberry leaf extract and quercetin were equally capable of delaying capacitation for 1 week and still allow capacitation to occur in vitro following incubation at 39°C. Blueberry extract also delayed capacitation but only during storage for 5 days; its effects were also reversible. Blueber...

The search for effective methods of long-term liver hypothermic preservation is one of the most important problems in hepatic transplantation. Biologically active substances contained in fetal tissues may be potent stimulators and regulators of metabolic processes, which can support liver during hypothermic storage and after normothermic reperfusion (HS/NR). The aim of this work was to investigate possible influences of fetal-specific factors (FSF) on liver pro-oxidant/antioxidant status, which frequently becomes disturbed during HS/NR in a rat model. As a source of FSF, human fetal tissue cytosolic fraction was used. At 4 h before liver isolation, FSF or Hank's solution were introduced into rat femoral vein (0.3 mL/100 g of body weight). Livers were subjected to HS at 4°C in sucrose-based solution (SBS) for 1 or 24 h, followed by NR for 60 min in vitro. After 1 and 24 h HS, FSF supplementation caused the normalization of hepatic thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and their accumulation durin...

In spite of abundant literature on cryobiology, relatively limited published information is available on specific features of the facilities where biological materials are stored. In this article the repository facility of a large cord blood bank is described. The 122 sq m biostorage area, which is part of the 226 sq m Milano Cord Blood Bank, is located in the basement of a hospital blood transfusion service. The repository area was designed to contain 35 liquid nitrogen (LN) tanks equipped with an automated refilling system. It was constructed according to Italian and French norms and guidelines. The current setting includes the following elements: an outdoor 6000 L reservoir connected to the area through a LN vacuum line, 30 LN tanks, a ventilation system interfaced to six oxygen sensors and a management system based on a programmable logic controller (PLC) linked to commercial proprietary software for continuous and real time monitoring of LN tanks and of the safety parameters of the repository area.

Stabilization of living cells during dehydration could facilitate the storage and transport of nucleated cells. HeLa cells, known for their resilience and insensitivity to environmental stresses, provide a useful platform for the investigation of resistance to dehydration-induced damage. HeLa cells from two sources [the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and the European Collection of Cell Cultures (ECCC)] were compared with regard to their survival following vacuum-drying and the dependence of viability on drying temperature. Interestingly, a substantial difference in dehydration resistance appeared between the two cell lines dried after they were loaded with trehalose. At all temperatures tested, the ATCC cell line showed higher viability than the ECCC cell line. For both lines, viabilities decreased at elevated drying temperatures, but even when the cells were dried at 45°C, the ATCC line survived well compared to the ECCC line (27% vs. 0%, respectively, when dried to 0.3 g H2O/g dry weight).

Decellularization of allograft heart valves has been proposed as a method to reduce the alloreactive immune response, which limits the durability of these tissues. Rat models are essential for preliminary studies of the immunogenicity of decellularized tissue, but concerns have arisen about the toxic effects of Triton X-100 commonly used in a number of decellularization protocols. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal washout conditions of Triton X-100 following decellularization. Sprague-Dawley rat aortic valves were decellularized with a combination of hypotonic and hypertonic buffers, protease inhibitors, and gentle detergents (0.5% Triton X-100) followed by a washout in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for variable time periods. Decellularized valves were allowed to equilibrate in ddH2O and residual levels of Triton X-100 were determined using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR). The majority of Triton X-100 was removed with a PBS washout time of 4 hours, yielding a...
