R49 -- Biomedical Applications of Cryogenic Refrigeration - (SI)

This chapter briefly describes many of the principles driving the present growth and development of low-temperature biological applications. An understanding of these principles is required to optimize design of practical apparatus for low-temperature biological processes. Although this field is growing in both breadth and sophistication, this chapter is restricted to processes that involve temperatures below which ice formation is normally encountered(i.e., 32F [0C]), and to an overview of the state of the art.
