CELL

CELL is a controlled directional bottom-up freezing system achieving high cell viability and functionality.

This system has a directional heat-transfer geometry that limits natural convection, enabling precise control of ice-nucleation and crystal growth (velocity and direction).

Featured in the following papers:
