(18) Freezable water was detected in the cells only at a water activity above 0.75 by differential scanning calorimetry.
(19) Simultaneously the semen freezability was decreased.
(20) Both sugars and polyols are believed to reduce the amount of freezable water and to promote plasticization and molecular mobility of agarose chains in gels, thus shifting the glass transition temperatures to lower temperatures.
Frozen
Definition:
(p. p.) of Freeze
(a.) Congealed with cold; affected by freezing; as, a frozen brook.
(a.) Subject to frost, or to long and severe cold; chilly; as, the frozen north; the frozen zones.
(a.) Cold-hearted; unsympathetic; unyielding.
Example Sentences:
(1) Limited biopsic retroperitoneal lymphnode dissection subsequently extended following the result of the frozen section histology.
(2) To selectively stain polyanionic macromolecules of growth plate cartilage and to prevent artifacts induced by aqueous fixation, proximal tibial growth plates were excised from rats, slam-frozen, and freeze-substituted in 100% methanol containing the cationic dye Alcian blue.
(3) Since the employment of microwave energy for defrosting biological tissues and for microwave-aided diagnosis in cryosurgery is very promising, the problem of ensuring the match between the contact antennas (applicators) and the frozen biological object has become a pressing one.
(4) In contrast, in paraffin as well as in frozen sections of chick oviduct, fixed by immersion or in vapor, PR was exclusively nuclear, including in the absence of progesterone, and the intensity of immunostaining was not modified by progesterone treatment.
