A Stasis Cell is a Protoss invention in the fictional StarCraft universe. It is used for storage, medical and incarceration purposes.

Stasis Cells are considered too complicated and psi-active for Terrans to understand, but Alan Schezar and Samir Duran have both demonstrated the ability to control them, at least to some extent.

Stasis Cells frequently rely on Khaydarin Crystal-based Pylon technology to power them, which can result in an unstable connection if used not being controlled by Protoss.

When a creature leaves a Stasis Cell, they emerge in the condition they entered. Leaving the Stasis Cell doesn't cause injury, but a creature in a Stasis Cell is vulnerable to injury from attacks made from the outside.

Stasis Cells are not always a perfect stasis, especially if controlled by Terrans. Creatures trapped within can emit psionic energy, and some (such as Mojo ) are even able to communicate with the outside world using psionics.
