Nanotechnology can enhance the preservation of medical specimens through several key mechanisms:
Nanoscale Coatings: Nanomaterials can be used to create protective coatings that shield specimens from environmental factors such as moisture, UV radiation, and microbial contamination. Cryopreservation: Nanoparticles can improve the efficiency of cryoprotectants, substances used to protect biological tissue from freezing damage during cryopreservation. Antimicrobial Properties: Certain nanoparticles exhibit strong antimicrobial properties, which can be used to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi on preserved specimens.
