of Research Institute of Mytyshi completed the first two phases of the experiment in the practical aspects of cryobiology (from total of 6 planned for this year). Yuri has achieved 55% survival of hippocampal slices of rats after deep hypothermia with a neurophysiological evaluation of sections from the very first test experiments without an optimized technology.
An agreement was reached at the Institute to continue the study of cryopreservation processes to improve results.
In collaboration with scientists from the laboratory of cryopreservation of genetic resources of CSI Academy of Sciences, which is headed by the Dr. Edith Nikolaevna Gakhova, a draft project of online library of cryobiology is developing.

Quantity of contracts has passed seventh decade, as we signed the agreement 71. We received many letters from customers, including those coming from abroad.

Agents from Belarus, Ukraine, and various cities in Russia took the initiatives to cooperate.

The improvement of Cryodepositarium is continuing, on the site KryoRus (http://www.kriorus.ru/) we plan to create a 3D model on which will be implemented in the virtual tour KrioRus.
