Good article, but could be expanded upon[edit]

This article gives a good overall background of the purpose and use of a cell bank. The article could possibly be improved by adding some pictures of the dewars used to freeze the cells, also expanding upon the process of preparing and freezing the cells. For example, what has to be done or added to the cells so that they can be frozen and not damaged. A section about thawing from the cell banks could be helpful. All sources are from published research papers or articles and are credible. Overall the article is unbiased and gives the audience a good understanding of the purpose of a cell bank.
