Type of article: Article

Summary

Isothermal and non-isothermal calorimetric measurements are analyzed and compared between samples where water was replaced either by 1N hydrogen chloride, 1N soda or 0.5N sodium chloride. Activation energies for ice crystal growth at constant molal salt concentrations are similar. For cryopreservation by vitrification, the present results support the notion for a better vitrification tendency and lower crystal growth for solution having an excess of OH. The choice still remains for a less toxic physiological solution.
