Nitrogen
Cryobiology & dermatology
Nitrogen is mainly found in the atmosphere where it accounts for about 78% of the air we breathe. Nitrogen gas is neutral and colourless, and does not sustain life.
Applications
Nitrogen gas is used
- As a drive for medical tools and equipment
- As a zero and balance gas for analysis in breathable gas mixtures
Liquid nitrogen is also essential for cryobiology - the preservation of biological substances.
At extremely low temperature (-196°C) liquid nitrogen is used to preserve blood, sperm, embryos, bone marrow and other biological samples without diminishing their intrinsic qualities. In Dermatology nitrogen is used for cryosurgery and cryotherapy, enabling the treatment of cutaneous micro-trauma.
