What is cryogenic freezer?

A cryogenic freezer is used to bring components inside the freezer down to cryogenic temperatures. Many cryogenic freezers are available for all sorts of applications. Cold boxes with added ln2 capabilities can refrigerate parts and then complete cryogenic processing cycles. Additionally, cryo freezers are available to freeze sex cells, stems cells, and more. Sometimes people are frozen after death, which is called cryonics. I have added a site below that has cryogenic freezers and processors available.

Is cryogenic freezing related to nitrogen?

Cryogenic freezing is certainly related to nitrogen. In order to complete a deep cryogenic treatment a cryogen must be used. The least expensive cryogen for deep freezing is liquid nitrogen. Another cryogen is helium which allows special made cryogenic processors to reach temperatures approaching absolute zero.
