The present disclosure relates to, at least, a vacuum-assisted method for infiltrating cadaver bone with a cryoprotectant and a method for rapidly warming the cryopreserved cadaver bone for bone marrow processing.

The invention relates to a method of preservation of nucleic acid sequences in histological tissues which comprises: treating a concentrated formaldehyde solution in water with basic ion-exchange resins; diluting the resulting acid-deprived formaldehyde solution with phosphate buffer pH 7.2-7.4 up to a concentration ranging between 2 and 4%; contacting the resulting acid-deprived formaldehyde solution obtained with the tissue samples; optionally embedding the samples fixed in paraffin.

The invention is that of systems of methods for preserving vital assets such as human organs in transit. An exemplary system may include a central software application and processor for storing vital asset identifying information in a database and displaying real-time transit information in relation to the asset to authenticated users. Application programming interfaces are provided to allow authenticated users to monitor location and environmental data transmitted from the proximity of the asset to the central software application for processing and display on graphical user interfaces. An exemplary system enables methods of reallocating freight from a first to a second transportation asset to avoid delays and prolonged exposures to adverse environmental conditions. In certain embodiments, unmanned aerial systems may be deployed to intervene in the transit channel and overcome such delays or exposures. In preferred embodiments, historical data is collected and analyzed to help predict human organ transplant outcomes.

A process for making and using a tissue preservation gel. The gel is comprised of water, reticulated acrylic acid, water soluble short-chain paraben, isopropyl alcohol and either triethanolamine or propylene glycol. To use the gel, a tissue to be preserved is first bathed in hypertonic sodium chloride, then soaked in a wash in multiple increasing concentrations of isopropyl alcohol and then preserved indefinitely in the tissue preservation gel.

According to the present invention, there are provided a chamber for transplantation, as a planar chamber for transplantation which has a structure in which membranes for immunoisolation face each other, and which is capable of stably enclosing a biological constituent, including a membrane for immunoisolation at a boundary between an inside and an outside of the chamber for transplantation, in which the membranes for immunoisolation which face each other have joint portions that are joined to each other, an interior space includes a point at a distance of 10 mm or longer from any position of the joint portion, and the membrane for immunoisolation has flexibility that allows a distance of 1 mm to 13 mm as the following distance: in a case where a portion of 10 mm from a side surface of one short side of a 10 mm×30 mm rectangular test piece of the membrane for immunoisolation is vertically sandwiched between flat plates, and the flat plates are placed horizontally, a distance between a horizontal plane including a center plane in a thickness direction of the sandwiched portion of the membrane for immunoisolation, and a part, which is farthest from the horizontal plane, of a residual 20 mm-portion projecting from the flat plate; and a device for transplantation including the chamber for transplantation enclosing a biological constituent therein.
