METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRESERVATION OF BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032531 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRESERVATION OF BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL
Simplified Explanation
Abstract
An apparatus for preserving biological material is described. The apparatus includes an insert that is placed within an outer insulated tank. The insert has a compartment for holding the biological material. During operation, the biological material in the compartment is immersed in a heat exchange fluid to exchange heat with the fluid and freeze the material. The apparatus also includes a pump that can adjust the flow of the heat exchange fluid over the biological material, allowing for cooling at different stages.
Patent/Innovation Explanation
- The apparatus is designed to preserve biological material by freezing it using a heat exchange fluid.
- The insert within the outer insulated tank creates a compartment for holding the biological material.
- The heat exchange fluid is used to exchange heat with the biological material, causing it to freeze.
- The pump in the apparatus controls the flow of the heat exchange fluid over the biological material, allowing for precise cooling at different stages.
Potential Applications
- Preservation of biological samples, such as cells, tissues, or organs, for research or medical purposes.
- Cryopreservation of sperm, eggs, or embryos for fertility treatments.
- Storage of biological material for biobanking or genetic research.
Problems Solved
- Provides a controlled and efficient method for freezing and preserving biological material.
- Allows for precise cooling at different stages, ensuring the integrity and viability of the preserved material.
- Offers a compact and insulated apparatus for long-term storage of biological samples.
Benefits
- Enables the long-term preservation of biological material without degradation or loss of viability.
- Provides a reliable and efficient method for cryopreservation.
- Allows for easy retrieval and use of preserved biological material when needed.
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus for preserving biological material, comprising an insert configured to be arranged within an outer insulated tank, the insert defining a compartment for receiving biological material, such that, in operation, biological material in the compartment is immersed in the heat exchange fluid to exchange heat with the heat exchange fluid for freezing of said biological material, the apparatus further comprising a pump that is operable to adjust a flow of heat exchange fluid over the biological material in the compartment, the pump being operable to cool the biological material at one or more different stages of cooling.
