Organs cryopreserved by vitrification benefit from fast warming to avoid growth and recrystallization of ice that may nucleate during cooling and during warming. Rapid warming is especially important for tissue that doesn't absorb the full concentrat...
To date, the effect of cryopreservation on microcracks in the dental enamel remains unclear. These enamel microcracks are very thin, at the limit of visibility and their segmentation is beyond the capabilities of traditional image analysis. The objec...
For most of the cells, water permeability and plasma membrane properties play a vital role in the optimal protocol for successful cryopreservation. Measuring the water permeability of cells during subzero temperature is essential. So far, there is no...
An automated device is described which enables programmable submersion in liquid nitrogen to enable rapid specimen cooling for vitrification applications. The device presented here is low-cost, portable, and compatible with a range of cryogenic conta...
