An object of the present invention is to provide a method for preserving a platelet in a refrigerated or frozen state while retaining more platelet functions, a platelet preservation solution for use in such a method, and the like. The present invention relates to a platelet preservation solution for refrigeration or freezing, comprising an electrolyte and an anticoagulant. The present invention also relates to a method for preserving a platelet, comprising: suspending a platelet in the platelet preservation solution according to the present invention; and preserving the suspension by refrigeration or freezing at 10 C. or lower.

Described herein are blood storage containers that can contain a CeONP composition and/or coating on an object surface. In some aspects, the blood storage container can include an insert. In some aspects the inserts can contain a CeONP compositions and/or coating on an object surface. In aspects, the CeONP composition and/or coating on an object surface can be effective to increase the useful storage lifespan of blood, blood product, and/or component thereof stored in the blood storage container. Also described herein are methods of making and using the CeONP compositions, coatings, and devices containing the CeONP compositions and/or coatings described herein.

Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to processes, systems, and compositions useful in manipulating a ratio of viable X chromosome bearing sperm to viable Y chromosome bearing sperm in at least one sperm population and useful for preserving the resulting manipulated sperm population. In some embodiments a cryoprotectant may be incorporated into various medias used in manipulating the sperm sample, such as in a staining media, a sheath fluid, and a collection media.

A system for lung preservation is described. The system includes a cooler at least partially housing a cooling coil, the cooling coil including a proximal end configured to connect to an oxygen source and a distal end configured to connect to endotracheal tubing. The endotracheal tubing is in fluid communication with a conduit extending through the cooling coil. A positive end expiratory pressure valve connected to the endotracheal tubing. A method for preserving a lung and a method for preserving a lung for transportation are also described.
