title: [A system for biomaterial handling and sample pretreatment in conditions of weightlessness].
abstract: To perform laboratory biochemical, immunologic and microbiological analyses and special pretreatment and stabilization of biosamples immediately on the space station, system Plasma-03 was designed and manufactured and associated procedure for sample collection and pretreatment was developed. Main elements of the system are a refrigerator/thermostat, centrifuge and returnable container, and a set of accessories and expendables. The system meets the requirements to the equipment to be employed in crew health monitoring and biochemical experiments on board the International space station.
