Key Points

This research investigates the effectiveness of different preservation techniques on amniotic membrane integrity.
Vacuum drying with a vacuum concentrator
Lyophilization
Cryopreservation
Comparison of morphological characteristics with fresh tissue
Preservation techniques maintain morphological characteristics akin to fresh amniotic membrane
Vacuum concentrator offers superior storage convenience and accessibility

Abstract

Vacuum drying using a vacuum concentrator, lyophilization, and cryopreservation preserve the morphological characteristics of the human amniotic membrane similar to those of fresh tissue. A standardized protocol using a vacuum concentrator may be established owing to its advantages in storage convenience and accessibility.
