Long-term Preservation

Harvard Medical School “Microbiome Ark”

The Solution: Kryobiom® Microbiome Ark

With Kryobiom®, your own microorganisms can be cryopreserved at –130°C – using a method that ensures stability for decades

preservation in the gaseous phase of liquid nitrogen (–130°C)
future-oriented health provision – inspired by the Harvard recommendationfehlung

⚠️ Important Note: According to current German medicinal product regulations, the return of your preserved gut microbiota is limited to 9 months. Long-term cryogenic storage, therefore, serves primarily as a preventive measure – for a future moment when extended return periods may become legally allowed. Shelf-life studies are ongoing, and all users will be informed immediately once regulatory authorities permit longer return intervals.

Harvard Medical School Recommendation:
The “Microbiome Ark” Concept

The Harvard Medical School describes the long-term preservation of one’s own healthy gut microbiota as a key element of preventive medicine. Under the term “Microbiome Ark”, the idea is to secure a person’s microbiota during younger or stable years so that it can be restored later if needed (microbiome banking).

Kryobiom® is the first to implement this concept in practice in Germany.

What Studies Show

High Stability

Cryopreserved microbiota remain biologically active for years.¹

Long-Term Revitalization

Successful recovery after deep-freeze storage has been demonstrated.²

Scientific Vision

Harvard Medical School proposes the “Microbiome Ark” as a new standard in preventive medicine.³
