INCREASING THE VIABILITY AND STRESS TOLERANCE OF VIABLE BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for improving viability of viable biological material comprising applying hydrostatic pressure to said biological material; keeping the said viable biological material at the hydrostatic pressure for a predetermined time period; releasing the hydrostatic pressure; wherein said viable biological material is kept at temperatures above the freezing point of the medium during any stage of the storage and/or manipulation thereof.
