A tube-array-type liquid nitrogen container includes a container body having a mouth; a tube array component received in the container body; and a top cap sealing the mouth from above. The top cap is rotatable in the mouth. The tube array component is composed of a plurality of holding tubes. The holding tube is opened at one end thereof, wherein the opening thereof faces the top cap. The top cap has at least one tube access passing therethrough. Each tube access is atop covered by a tube access cover. The tube-array-type liquid nitrogen container uses a tube-array component composed of the a plurality of holding tubes to store the freezing tubes, and is cooperated with the rotatable top cap and an external robotic arm, thereby improving space utilization and thermal insulation, effectively ensuring safety of the freezing tubes, and facilitating automatic storage of freezing tubes.

The present invention relates to a method to treat insects in order to produce a human nutrition and/or an animal feed. The treatment involves at reducing and preferably stopping the autolysis of the insects, preferably using a cooling treatment step. The present invention further relates to a line to process insects.

An embalming machine including a housing, at least one fluid tank supported by the housing, a plurality of hose segments disposed at least partially within the housing, a pump, a pressure gauge, and a first solenoid is disclosed. The pump is engaged with at least one hose segment of the plurality of hose segments. The pressure gauge is configured to read a pressure of the fluid flowing therethrough. The first solenoid is configured to allow fluid to flow therethrough when current is applied to the first solenoid, and is configured to prevent fluid from flowing therethrough when no current is applied to the first solenoid.

A method that may be used in the imaging of tissues or subjects includes flushing a tissue or subject with a solution, preserving the tissue or subject, and then introducing an imaging contrast agent into the tissue or subject. After these actions, the tissue or subject may be imaged.

Broadly speaking, embodiments of the present technique provide apparatus for controlling ice formation, such as during the processes of cryopreservation and freeze drying. In particular, the apparatus provides a mechanism to deliver an ice nucleating material into a biological sample that is to be preserved, without allowing the ice nucleating agent to contact or contaminate the biological matter within the sample.

A system for and method of reconstituting post mortem circulation is provided. Certain methods include simulating natural clotting cascades at wound sites while preventing clotting in reservoirs and within the cadaver. Clot prevention in the reservoir and the cadaver are accomplished with an anticoagulant and a dispersant, respectively. Simulation of clotting at the wound site is accomplished by diluting cadaver fluid with reservoir fluid, thereby diluting the dispersant. The cadaver fluid contains excess calcium for resisting the anticoagulant of the reservoir fluid. Certain methods of the present invention also include reanimating a heart, attaching foreign cadaveric circulatory branches to other cadaveric tissue, enabling mobile cadaveric perfusion, and utilizing a water bath with gravity-feed perfusion.
