To provide an apparatus for preserving a microorganism or an animal-derived material.
The apparatus for preserving an animal organ, its minced product or cell (hereinafter referred to as a cell or the like) is equipped with an electrostatic field generator and a cooler. The apparatus for preserving a cell or the like has functions in which a section for preserving a cell or the like is distinguished from a cooling section, at least the section for preserving a cell or the like is in an electrostatic field atmosphere and the section for preserving a cell or the like is cooled by air convection caused by temperature difference between the section for preserving a cell or the like and the cooling section. The apparatus preserves a microorganism or an animal (including human)-derived material without freezing even at -12 to -1°C at which the microorganism or the animal-derived material is frozen if the section preserving a cell or the like is not in a electrostatic field atmosphere. The apparatus is useful for preserving an organ, internal organ, tissue, cell, blood preparation, purified protein, recombinant protein, cultured cell, cultured tissue, etc., especially in a transplantation field, regenerative medical care field, basic research field, gene therapy field, clinical examination field, medicine manufacture/reagent field, etc.
