The Benefits of Vapor Cryogenic Storage Compared to Liquid Storage

When storing biological samples at cryogenic temperatures using liquid nitrogen there are two main options to consider. The first is vapor phase storage and the other is storing your samples directly in liquid phase nitrogen itself. Liquid nitrogen was first used for cryogenic storage in the 1950s, making it possible to store samples at temperatures down to -196 °C.
