Background
Cryopreservation refers to long-term storage of cells or tissues under low temperature conditions, and is widely applied in modern medicine, particularly reproductive medicine, organ storage and transportation, cell therapy, sample bank construction and the like. The vitrification freezing method is considered as the best cryopreservation mode of biological materials such as biological tissues, cells and the like, and has very important application value in the aspect of the construction of biological sample banks. The vitrification method is that a biological sample is cooled to a temperature far lower than the crystallization point of the biological sample through a very fast cooling rate, so that the formation and the growth of ice crystals in a solution are greatly limited, and finally, the transformation process to an amorphous solid state is realized. The way of realizing vitrification preservation is not limited to two categories: firstly, the concentration of the low-temperature protective agent is increased, and vitrification preservation can be realized only by low cooling rate; and secondly, the concentration of the protective agent is reduced, the volume of the sample is reduced, the specific surface area is increased, and ultra-fast freezing is realized to realize vitrification. For the former, because the protective agent has high concentration and strong toxicity, a complicated elution procedure is required, and the subsequent clinical application standard is difficult to achieve. Therefore, the vitrification method of ultra-fast freezing by increasing the specific surface area is currently the focus of research.
In addition, in the vitrification preservation method, the most common temperature recovery mode is adopted by 37 ℃ water bath temperature recovery in the temperature recovery process, but the temperature rise rate is slow, and the temperature rise rate is not fast enough, so that the devitrification phenomenon can be caused, and fatal ice crystal damage can be generated to a biological sample. Radio frequencies generate induced eddy currents in the conductor with resistive losses that generate heat. The metal layer in the rf re-warming chip 110 may generate induced eddy current in the rf field, which may provide a temperature rise rate of over 1000 ℃/min. But the single radio frequency rewarming is not enough for vitrification rewarming with low protective agent concentration, the rewarming speed is further improved by coupling jet rewarming, the jet rewarming means that warm water forms jet flow to impact the surface of a rewarmed object at high speed for rewarming, because the jet flow boundary layer is extremely thin, the jet flow rewarming has very high heat exchange efficiency, the rewarming speed can be further improved, the overheating phenomenon possibly generated by the radio frequency rewarming can be inhibited, and the method is a key technology for realizing high-speed cooling or rewarming of a sample.
Another key point of the current research is that technologies such as intracellular delivery of a natural non-permeable protective agent are combined to realize DMSO-free preservation of a biological sample, but the preservation method also faces cell damage caused by recrystallization during rewarming, and the quality of the biological sample after rewarming can be further improved by combining the use of radio frequency rewarming and jet flow rewarming, and other substances do not need to be introduced into a biological sample system like magnetic nanoparticle rewarming and gold nanoparticle laser rewarming, so that potential toxicity to the biological sample and subsequent tedious elution steps are avoided.
