Summary:A method for reducing excess pressure in isochoric systems that involves providing a rigid and sealable master container, placing a primary subsystem comprised of biological matter into the master container, placing a secondary subsystem into the master container, removing bulk gas phase from the master container, sealing the master container, cooling the master container to a desired sub-0° Centigrade storage temperature, maintaining the master container at the storage temperature for a storage period, warming the master container to a temperature that is greater than the equilibrium melting point of the primary subsystem, unsealing the master container, and removing the biological matter from the master container. The secondary subsystem is a liquid that is immiscible with water and has a positive coefficient of thermal expansion that is greater in absolute magnitude than the coefficient of thermal expansion of water at sub-0° Centigrade temperatures. An apparatus for performing the foregoing method steps.
