Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for controlling freeze-drying of a hydrogel wherein the method comprises adjusting the residual water content of the freeze-dried hydrogel, and to a freeze-dried hydrogel composition comprising nanoscale cellulose and a at least one biomolecule selected from an oligosaccharide or a disaccharide. The present disclosure further concerns the use of the freeze-dried hydrogel composition for cell culturing, a cell culturing scaffold as well as a process for manufacturing a reconstituted hydrogel.

Abstract: The present application relates to a method for preparing a medical product, the method comprising providing an aqueous dispersion of nanofibrillar cellulose, providing a nonwoven fabric, immersing the nonwoven fabric in the aqueous dispersion of nanofibrillar cellulose to form a coating on the nonwoven fabric, passing the immersed nonwoven fabric through a prefined gap to define the thickness of the coating on the immersed nonwoven fabric without pressing, and dewatering the immersed nonwoven fabric, to obtain the medical product. The present application also relates to a medical product comprising a supporting layer and an absorbent layer, wherein the supporting layer comprises a nonwoven fabric, and the absorbent layer comprises unpressed nanofibrillar cellulose having an average fibril diameter of 200 nm or less, wherein the absorbent layer is coating the supporting layer.

Abstract: A method for recording audio and/or video of an event on a plurality of recordable media comprises the steps of capturing audio and/or video at the event from at least one pickup to a recording station, transferring the captured audio and/or video from the recording station to a file server for storage, copying the captured audio and/or video from the file server to at least one computer, and recording the audio and/or video from the at least one computer to the plurality of recordable media. The captured audio and/or video may be separated into content files representing songs or topics. The captured audio and/or video may be copied from one computer to another computer, which may also record to the media. A robotic duplication system may be attached to the computer. The file server is instructed to begin the copying process once all audio and/or video has been captured.
