Developing advanced methods to measure and validate the effectiveness of cryopreservation protocols, ensuring optimal outcomes across different tissue types and preservation conditions.
Purpose‑built R&D for long‑term preservation. We design and test specialized equipment, create patented systems, and continually refine protocols to improve outcomes and protect our patients.
At the heart of Alcor’s scientific advancement lies our dedicated in-house Research & Development department – a team of full-time professionals advancing the science of cryopreservation. This multidisciplinary team tackles challenges that exist nowhere else in science, pioneering solutions at the intersection of biology, engineering, and materials science.
Our in-house team designs and manufactures purpose-built equipment, develops patented preservation systems, and refines protocols. We combine science, systems engineering, and real-world operations to raise preservation quality while prioritizing safety, reliability, and long-term patient stewardship.
Developing advanced methods to measure and validate the effectiveness of cryopreservation protocols, ensuring optimal outcomes across different tissue types and preservation conditions.
Creating next-generation preservation systems that improve cooling rates, enhance perfusion efficiency, and provide better monitoring capabilities during critical preservation phases.
Refining preservation techniques through systematic testing and analysis, with a focus on increasing reliability and minimizing preservation-related damage.

We operate a GE LightSpeed RT 16 x-ray CT scanner in-house to document and evaluate every new patient. High-resolution imaging verifies procedural outcomes, identifies structural details relevant to preservation quality, and produces data that support ongoing research and refinement of cryopreservation techniques.
