Abstract

Briefly describes many of the principles driving the present growth and development of low-temperature biological applications. An understanding of these principles is required to optimally design practical apparatus for executing low-temperature biological processes. Although this field is growing in both breadth and sophistication, this chapter is restricted to processes that involve temperatures below which ice formation is normally encountered, i.e. 32°F, and to an overview of the state-of-the-art.
