Matching Donation Fundraiser - Help Alcor Get a Calorimeter

💙 Matching Challenge: A generous donor has pledged to match all contributions up to $25,000 toward the purchase of this new calorimeter. Every dollar you give will be doubled - helping us reach our goal twice as fast. 🔬 Alcor is raising funds to acquire a calorimeter - a scientific instrument that measures how much heat is absorbed or released during physical and chemical changes. In cryopreservation research, calorimetry helps us understand how biological tissues and preservation solutions behave as they are cooled and rewarmed, providing crucial data to improve future preservation techniques. With a calorimeter, Alcor’s research team can: Measure subtle heat flows that reveal key transitions during cooling and warming. Better understand the thermal behavior of tissue and preservation solutions. Refine and validate cryopreservation protocols using precise, data-driven insights. Help Alcor push the boundaries of cryopreservation science. Donate now to double the impact of your contribution.
