Cryo 2X-99 is an essential component to Terran cold-sleep chambers.
Usually stored in liquid form, Cryo 2X-99 is vaporized into gas before use. Once introduced into a chamber, anyone inside will instantly be rendered frozen. All cellular metabolisms are reduced to virtually zero while exposed to the substance.
Normally flash-freezing biological cells often results in damage when defrosted over time. Cryo 2X-99 eliminates this problem by using two unique catalysts in its formula. The first is used to neutralize the substance's freezing properties when exposed to air. This helps the body to slowly restart normal functions with only a few not fatal side-effects. The second catalyst is used to strengthen genetic material from damage as the defrosting process begins. All these combined allows people to use cryo-sleep chambers for long trips while permitting them almost instantaneous revival time.
