Episode 26: ThawReady™- Transforming Cryopreservation for Instant Cell Functionality
Description
Dr. Chakraborty continues his discussion on cryobiology, focusing on the innovative ThawReady™ Assay Ready Cells that his group developed. He explains that traditional cryopreservation methods cause cellular injuries that manifest when cells are thawed, leading to delayed functionality. ThawReady™ Assay Ready Cells are designed to minimize these injuries, allowing immediate use after thawing and reducing the time and effort required for cell culture. Dr. Chakraborty goes on to discuss the strategic approach ATCC took, leveraging advanced omics technologies to understand and mitigate cellular injuries. The conversation also covers the broader implications of this technology, including cost savings and enhanced efficiency. Dr Chakraborty concludes the discussion by highlighting the importance of compatibility with new characterization technologies and the need for standardization.
