The present invention provides a method and apparatus for tissue, such as an allograft, storage and preservation for extended periods of time at room temperature in a sterile tissue culture chamber. The first and second motors are energized such that the rotational speeds of the first and second fans reach target rotational speeds prior to increasing the rotational speeds of the first and second fans to required rotational speeds. Conductors are attached to the capacitor, inductor or resistor to connect the capacitor, inductor, or resistor to at least one of the upper and lower dies.
