The important relationship between cooling and thawing rates on human t cell quality

The role of biopreservation in cell and gene therapy bioprocessing

“…That the thawing process is often badly, if at all, controlled and that this may be responsible for some of the damage perceived to be caused by cryopreservation is now starting to be recognised by the community. For example, at ISCT 2017, one report highlighted the interplay between cooling rate and thawing rate for T cell recovery post-thaw [24]. To address this, rapid and specialised thawing devices are being developed such as the ThawSTAR from Medcision and VIA Thaw by Asymptote…”
