The invention discloses a method for large-scale
cryopreservation of animal cells. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out first-stage amplification on to-be-preserved cells under the support of
matrigel; performing second-stage amplification on the to-be-preserved cells subjected to the first-stage amplification under the support of a
microcarrier; mixing the to-be-preserved cells with a serum-free
cryopreservation solution to prepare a micro-
capsule suspension; and putting the microcapsule suspension into a
cryopreservation container to carry out cryopreservation. According to the invention, through amplification of two stages, the to-be-preserved cells have reached a
high density of 109 orders of magnitude before cryopreservation, a re-amplification link in a
cell recovery stage can be greatly shortened, and the to-be-preserved cells are subjected to microencapsulation through the micro-fluidic
chip and then cryopreserved, so that
physical protection is given to the to-be-preserved cells; the damage of
ice crystals in the cryopreservation process is reduced, the
survival rate after
resuscitation is improved, and the microencapsulated cells can also be directly subcultured, so that the
resuscitation operation is simplified; according to the
cell cryopreservation device, the cryopreservation container with a large volume is used, so that the cost of
cell cryopreservation is reduced.
