Summary

THE EXPERIMENTS ESTABLISH PRACTICAL UPPER AND LOWER LIMITS FOR POST-CRYOPRESERVATION WARMING RATES EMPLOYED TO MAINTAIN SKIN CELL METABOLISM, AND THE CELLULAR VIABILITY. SKIN COOLED AT A CONSTANT, CONTROLLED RATE OF 1 K/MIN TO A TEMPERATURE OF 173 K (-100 DEG C), AND THEN RAPIDLY TRANSFERRED TO 77 K (-196 DEG C) FOR OVERNIGHT STORAGE, COULD BE OPTIMALLY WARMED AT RATES OF 95-260 K/MIN. THE AMOUNT OF METABOLIC ACTIVITY REMAINING WAS 76-78% OF NORMAL.
