Your Genetic Legacy: DNA & Tissue Bio-Archiving

 

Don’t let your unique biological story fade away. The Cryonics Institute (CI) offers a high-tech, low-cost “Genetic Safety Deposit Box.” Whether it’s for yourself, a cherished family member, or a beloved pet, we provide a bridge to the future through indefinite preservation at ultra-low liquid nitrogen temperatures.

 

The Service: Secure Your Blueprint

We preserve small samples of DNA and tissue at -196°C, a temperature where biological time virtually stands still. This isn’t just storage—it’s a long-term investment in your genetic identity.


Who Can Enroll?

This exclusive service is reserved for Cryonics Institute Members. 

A new member must pay one full year of Membership dues Plus the Initiation Fee in advance before they can sign up for a DNA / Tissue preservation contract. 

 

What Can You Preserve?

Even the smallest sample contains the map of who you are. We accept a variety of sources:

  • Hair: Must include the roots for maximum DNA yield.
  • Skin & Cheek Swabs: Simple, non-invasive collection.
  • Professional Samples: Tissue collected from deceased humans or pets by medical professionals.

 

Pricing: The Most Affordable Path to the Future

$98 per sample (Per person or pet).
What’s Included: Your fee includes a professional collection kit with sterile vials, swabs, labels, and step-by-step instructions.

  1. Collect: Use our kit or your own container to gather the sample.
  2. Ship: Mail it to our state-of-the-art Michigan facility.
