It is generally accepted that most biological activity, including those biochemical reactions that lead to cell death, are effectively stopped when brought to temperatures below the glass transition point of water solutions (around -136°C). This is why Cryoport provides a shipping container that maintains a temperature of -150°C. It is important to note that cellular material can be damaged during the freezing process to low temperatures, or warming to room temperature, if proper cryoprotectants are not used.
