Quick answer
Yes. SVF can be cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen with cryoprotectants. Freezing and thawing reduce the number of living cells; a 2019 study reported lower cell counts after cryopreservation but preserved stem cell potency in surviving cells, and a 2026 systematic review examined viability effects across studies. Viability after thaw should be measured before clinical use.
