Summary

Suspensions of rat hepatocytes were frozen and thawed. Different cryoprotectants are used (DMSO, glycerol, dimethylacetamide, 1.2-propanediol). DMSO and glycerol maintain 62-64% of their original biotransforming activity. Glycerol possesses the advantage of avoiding a stage of cryoprotectant washing.
