cryopreserved

IPA: //ˌkraɪoʊprɪˈzɜːrvd//

KK: /ˈkraɪoʊprɪˌzɜrvd/

adjective

Definition: Kept in a very cold state to prevent decay or damage, often used for biological materials like cells or tissues.

Example: The stem cells were cryopreserved to ensure their viability for future research.

verb

Definition: To preserve biological material by cooling it to very low temperatures, which stops all biological activity and prevents decay.

Example: The scientists cryopreserved the stem cells for future research.

cryopreserving

IPA: //ˌkraɪoʊprɪˈzɜrvɪŋ//

KK: /kraɪoʊprɪˈzɜrvɪŋ/

noun

Definition: The process of preserving cells, tissues, or any biological constructs by cooling them to very low temperatures to stop all biological activity.

Example: Cryopreserving stem cells can help in future medical treatments.

verb

Definition: To preserve cells, tissues, or other biological samples by cooling them to very low temperatures to stop all biological activity and prevent damage.

Example: Scientists are cryopreserving stem cells for future research.

cryoprobe

IPA: /ˈkraɪəˌproʊb/

KK: /ˈkraɪoʊproʊb/

noun

Definition: A tool used in surgery that applies very low temperatures to tissues to freeze them, often for medical treatments.

Example: The doctor used a cryoprobe to treat the tumor by freezing it.

cryoprotectant

IPA: /ˌkraɪəʊprəˈtɛktənt/

KK: /kraɪəʊprəˈtɛktənt/

noun

Definition: A substance that helps to prevent damage to cells or tissues when they are frozen.

Example: Glycerol is a common cryoprotectant used in cell preservation.

cryoscope

IPA: /ˈkraɪəˌskoʊp/

KK: /kraɪəˌskoʊp/

noun

Definition: A device that measures the temperature at which a liquid freezes.

Example: The scientist used a cryoscope to determine the freezing point of the solution.

cryoscopic

IPA: /kraɪˈɒskəpɪk/

KK: /kraɪˈɒskəpɪk/

adjective

Definition: Related to a method of measuring the freezing point of a substance to determine its properties.

Example: The cryoscopic method is often used in chemistry to analyze solutions.

cryoscopy

IPA: /kraɪˈɒsəpi/

KK: /kraɪˈɒsəpi/

noun

Definition: A method used to find out the molecular weight of a substance by measuring how much the freezing point of a liquid changes when a certain amount of that substance is added.

Example: Cryoscopy is often used in chemistry to analyze the properties of solutions.

cryostat

IPA: /ˈkraɪəˌstæt/

KK: /ˈkraɪəˌstæt/

noun

Definition: A device that keeps things very cold, often used in scientific experiments to maintain low temperatures.

Example: The researchers used a cryostat to keep the samples at a constant low temperature during the experiment.

cryostatic

IPA: /ˌkraɪəˈstætɪk/

KK: /kraɪəˈstætɪk/

adjective

Definition: Related to a device that maintains very low temperatures or to the state of being frozen.

Example: The cryostatic system is essential for preserving biological samples at low temperatures.
