The invention relates to a container (1) for holding a transplant object (2) and to a closure lid (4) and a vessel (3) for such a container (1). To facilitate an improved and reliable analysis and treatment of transplant objects (2), the intention being to implement particularly sparing handling, which is also protected against environmental influences, of the transplant object (2), it is proposed that the container (1) be transmissive for radiation that facilitates radiological imaging and/or a sterilization by means of ionizing radiation of the transplant object (2) held in the container (1) and that the closure lid (4) and/or the vessel (3) have one or more affixment structures (5) for fastening the transplant object (2) in the container (1). Moreover, a method and a system for providing three-dimensional structure data of a transplant object are proposed, by means of which the information obtained by the analysis is rendered better usable for medical staff. Moreover, a method and a system for sterilizing a transplant object (2) by means of ionizing radiation are described.

Provided are systems and methods for treating a biological fluid, e.g., to inactivate pathogens.

An organ preservation system having; an organ chamber with a perfusate reservoir, a pump arranged to circulate perfusate, from the reservoir and passes the perfusate through a dialysis filter, oxygenator, and temperature and pressure sensors prior to entering the chamber where an organ is perfused. The organ rests on the platform such that perfusate leaving the organ flows into the perfusate reservoir. The dialysis filter having permeable tubes which allow perfusate constituents to be exchanged with dialysate flowing through the dialysis filter. The dialysate pass through an ion exchange resin removing selected constituents or waste products from the dialysate by absorption by the ion exchange resin. Following waste absorption, the dialysate is recycled to the dialyzer to again remove waste. Removing waste products from the perfusate by dialysis followed by removal of the waste products from the dialysate with the exchange resin, enables dialysate reuse for extended duration.

Electrochemical apparatus and method provide a source of electrons to a living organ in the process of transplantation. The organ, depleted of antioxidants, is placed into a vessel supplied with appropriate physiological solution and apparatus that create antioxidative environment.

Methods and compositions for the prevention or reduction of platelet transfusion associated complications are provided. The subject methods include modifying donor whole blood or platelets prior to transfusion to prevent or reduce alloimmune platelet refractoriness.

The present invention effectively forms an electric field directed into the interior of an accommodation chamber of an electric field-generating container. An electric field-generating container includes a container casing and electrode members. The container casing includes an accommodation chamber that accommodates a stored product. The electrode members form an electric field in the accommodation chamber. The container casing includes a ceiling interior finishing panel made of electrical insulating resin. The ceiling interior finishing panel is provided as an indoor surface of the accommodation chamber. The electrode members are held on the ceiling interior finishing panel.

A device for controllable growth of ice crystals inside an organic object during freezing, the device comprising at least one transducer, a control unit, a power supply and a modulator, wherein the control unit causes a plurality of types of magnetic fields to be emitted, by the at least one transducer, in a cyclical manner, and the control unit determines, for each type of magnetic field comprised in the plurality of types of magnetic fields, a carrier frequency, a modulation frequency, modulation boundaries and duty cycle, and sets them by utilizing the signal generator and the power supply; and wherein a strength of the plurality of the types of the magnetic fields is determined by adjusting an output voltage provided by the power supply.

The present invention relates to methods of cryopreservation and compositions for use in such methods where the methods utilise non-Newtonian fluid properties of the cryopreservation medium to modulate the viscosity of that medium to deliver an improved cryopreservation process.

A free radical sterilization system having a chamber defining a region, and a generator for generating free radical reach effluent from a free radical electric generator and/or a vaporizer. A closed loop circulating system without a free-radical destroyer is provided for supplying the mixture of free radicals from the electric generator mixed with the hydrogen peroxide solution in the form of the effluent to the chamber. The free-radical sterilization system is used in sterilizing items in the chamber and, with an open-bottomed wound chamber, in treating wounds on a body.
