Abstract:
Cryopreservation is the most effective technology for the long-term preservation of biological materials, including cells, tissues, and even organs in the future. The process of cooling and rewarming is essential to the successful preservation of biological materials. One of the critical problems in the development of cryopreservation is the optimization of effective rewarming technologies. This article reviewed rewarming methods, including traditional boundary rewarming commonly used for small-volume biological materials and other advanced techniques that could be potentially feasible for organ preservation in the future. The review focused on various rewarming technique principles, typical applications, and their possible limitations for cryopreservation of biological materials. This article introduced nanowarming methods in the progressing optimization and the possible difficulties. The trends of novel rewarming methods were discussed, and suggestions were given for future development.

Methods of Sterilization I: Physical Methods
Steam sterilization uses non-toxic, low-cost moist heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure, which is fast, microbicidal, and sporicidal, and quickly warms and penetrates fabrics. Autoclaves, or steam sterilizers, expose each item to direct steam contact for a predetermined time at the necessary...
