Cryopreservation deals with procedures, risks and conditions applied to cells or tissues in order to prevent contamination and damage. It refers to the preservation of embryos, eggs, semen and testicle tissue by cooling to very low temperatures (typically -80 or -196°C).
Solvent-free sample extraction technique to concentrate and isolate analytes from a sample matrix. It uses a volume of sorbent dispersed on small fibre surfaces, following two different steps, an adsorption of solute and a transfer of adsorbed analytes by liquid or thermal desorption.
The biological development of human embryonic stem cells, together with the ethical concerns related and the legal requirements involved.
Tissues, cells, and functions of plant and animal organisms and their interdependencies and interactions with each other and the environment.
Techniques applied in the different fields of natural science in order to obtain experimental data such as gravimetric analysis, gas chromatography, electronic or thermic methods.
The study of the processes related to cells, molecules and living organisms.
