In most people's minds, human cryopreservation is both mysterious and unfamiliar. In 2015, news that a female writer from Chongqing had her brain frozen at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation (Alcor) in the United States attracted great attention. This was also the first case of cryopreservation of human brains in China. Now, it is funded by the Shandong Yinfeng Life Science Charity Foundation.

Human tissue and organ cryopreservation technology
At normal temperature, isolated ischemic tissues and organs will die within a short period of time (from a few minutes to a few hours at most) and cannot be used for transplantation. It is impossible to complete the transplant operation in such a short period of time. Therefore, tissue and organ cryopreservation technology is needed to maintain their activity.

Cryoprotectants are the basis for research on cryopreservation of various human cells, tissues, and organs. Since the discovery of the cryoprotective effect of glycerol in the 1960s, more than 50 drugs or reagents have been used for cryoprotection. In recent years, with the development of vitrification technology, in-depth research on cryoprotectants has attracted the attention of many researchers.

The relationship between the energy difference input to the sample under test and the reference substance and temperature (or time) can be measured through programmable temperature control. The application range is very wide, especially in the research and development, performance testing and quality control of materials, such as glass transition temperature, cold crystallization, phase transition, melting, crystallization, product stability, solidification/cross-linking, oxidation induction period and other research fields.
