Summary

RED BLOOD CELLS WERE FROZEN IN SMALL CAPILLARIES DOWN TO 77 K (-196 DEG C) AT DIFFERENT LINEAR COOLING RATES WITH OR WITHOUT THE CRYOADDITIVE HES ; THE THAWING RATE WAS 50 K/SECOND TO 108 K/SECOND. THE FINDINGS ALLOW ONE TO ESTABLISH A LINEAR CORRELATION OF THE HES CONCENTRATION AND THE OPTIMUM COOLING RATES WHEN THE DILUTION OF THE EXTRACELLULAR MEDIUM BY THE CELL WATER EFFLUX DURING FREEZING IS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.
