Summary

Nucleation and crystal growth were investigated for vitrification solution VS41A (dimethyl sulfoxide, formamide, and 1,2-propanediol) in an aqueous carrier solution giving, when added to these three cryoprotectants, a concentration of other solutes in the whole solution the same as that in Euro-Collins, with a 55% cryoprotectant concentration. The results support the possibility of using VS4 solution for vitrification of rabbit kidneys if pressure is not a limiting factor.
