Advanced preservation techniques

Advanced preservation techniques refer to sophisticated methods used to extend the life and quality of materials, artifacts, or biological specimens. This can include freeze-drying, which removes moisture while preserving structure, and chemical treatments that prevent decay or contamination. Other methods involve the use of controlled environments, such as specific temperatures and humidity levels, to slow down deterioration. Advanced preservation also incorporates technologies like digital archiving to store information safely. These techniques are vital in museums, libraries, and labs to maintain cultural heritage, scientific specimens, and historical documents for future generations.
