Cryopreservation thanks to vitrification of small biological elements.

Cryopréservation par vitrification de petits éléments biologiques.

Author(s) : BAUDOT A., AGOSTINI B., ASBERG M., et al.

Summary

Vitrification technology is being envisaged in order to preserve biological material over long periods prior to transplantation. It ensures that no ice is formed during cooling to cryogenic temperatures. This process requires solutions containing biocompatible cryoprotectants and relatively fast cooling and warming rates. This article presents various stages in the method that was successfully tested. Then illustrates the value of microwave thawing, which is fast and uniform, and describes a prototype warming system developed in order to cryopreserve arteries.
