liquid nitrogen use
Liquid nitrogen is nitrogen in a liquid state at an extremely low temperature of around -196°C. It has diverse applications across scientific, medical, and industrial fields. In research, it is used for preserving biological samples like cells and DNA and for creating cryogenic conditions. In medicine, it is employed in cryotherapy for removing skin lesions and preserving stem cells, sperm, and eggs. Industrially, it enables rapid food freezing, stripping materials, and cooling devices. It also creates special effects in entertainment. While highly versatile, liquid nitrogen requires careful handling due to risks like frostbite from direct contact and suffocation from rapid evaporation in unventilated areas.
