What is Sperm Storage?

Sperm storage is storage of human sperm in liquid nitrogen for future use. It is stored through cryopreservation, a process where cells  are preserved by cooling to very low temperatures at  −196 °C using liquid nitrogen. At low enough temperatures,  chemical activity which might cause damage to the biological material in question is effectively stopped.
