Aerosol Spray Aerosol Spray Dosage Form C42889 NCI Thesaurus An aerosol product which utilizes a compressed gas as the propellant to provide the force necessary to expel the product as a wet spray; it is applicable to solutions of medicinal agents in aqueous solvents.
Cryobath Cryobath C63392 NCI Thesaurus A device designed to generate a liquid environment that is below the freezing point of normal biological tissues (usually -50 to -70 degrees celsius).
Cryostat Cryostat C63393 NCI Thesaurus An instrument designed to cut frozen tissue specimens on the order of micron-scale thickness, generally for the purposes of histolgical evaluation.
Dry Ice Dry ice C63373 NCI Thesaurus A solid form of carbon dioxide used as a refrigerant. At temperatures above -78.5 degrees C and ambient pressure, it changes directly to a gas as it absorbs heat.
Dry Ice / Hydrocarbon Slurry Dry Ice Hydrocarbon Slurry C63373:C552:C63391 NCI Thesaurus A solid form of carbon dioxide used as a refrigerant. At temperatures above -78.5 degrees C and ambient pressure, it changes directly to a gas as it absorbs heat.: A group of organic compounds that consist of only hydrogen (H) and carbon (C) atoms and are involved in energy production. They may be cyclic or non-cyclic compounds. They may have double bonds, single bonds or both with carbon forming the backbone.: A mixture of solid and liquid matter phases.
Liquid Nitrogen Liquid nitrogen C45298:C61863 NCI Thesaurus A substance in the fluid state of matter having no fixed shape but a fixed volume.: Nitrogen
Liquid Nitrogen / Isopentane Liquid Nitrogen Isopentane C45298:C61863:C63387 NCI Thesaurus A substance in the fluid state of matter having no fixed shape but a fixed volume.: Nitrogen: An organic, branched-chain alkane with five carbon atoms.
Liquid Nitrogen Vapor Liquid Nitrogen Vapor C68796:C63390 NCI Thesaurus Nitrogen in a liquid state, having been super-cooled to about -200 degrees Celsius.: The gaseous state of matter that is a solid or liquid at normal room temperature.
Not Specified Unspecified C38046 NCI Thesaurus Not stated explicitly or in detail.
