Gasworld Magazine September 2010

Stories of stem cells, embryology and the life sciences is often hitting the headlines across the globe for one reason or another – and this month the cryobiology business is woven throughout the very DNA of gasworld magazine.

Cryobiology comprises a number of distinctions or areas of study, including cryonics, cryogenics and cryopreservation. Whether affecting human science or the animal kingdom, it tends to be literally a matter of life or death.

Assisted reproduction, for example, is just one aspect of the cryobiology business and in our special features this month, we take a closer look at this brave new world of human endeavour. In particular we learn, courtesy of Taylor-Wharton’s own Jim Gordon, how end-users have important choices to make when considering a cryobiology storage system. Gordon discusses cryobiology, industrial gases and the suite of solutions available to customers.
