Vitrification Ability of Combined and Single Cryoprotective Agents. [PDF]
Cryoprotective agents (CPA) are an important part of many current vitrification methods. The vitrification ability of CPAs influences the probability of the glass transition and water crystallization occurrence. Thermal characteristics and the vitrification ability of two combined CPAs (PVS2 and PVS3), common plant vitrification solutions, and four ...

Cryopreservation of equine oocytes: looking into the crystal ball [PDF]
In vitro embryo production has evolved rapidly in the horse over the past decade, but blastocyst rates from vitrified equine oocytes remain quite poor and further research is needed to warrant application.

Polyampholytes as Cryoprotective Agents for Mammalian Cell Cryopreservation [PDF]
Cryoprotective agents (CPAs) such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), glycerol, ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol have been used for the cryopreservation of cells and tissues. DMSO is the most effective CPA but shows high cytotoxicity and can effect differentiation.

Stepped vitrification technique for human ovarian tissue cryopreservation [PDF]
The advantage of stepped vitrification (SV) is avoiding ice crystal nucleation, while decreasing the toxic effects of high cryoprotectant concentrations. We aimed to test this method for human ovarian tissue cryopreservation.

Cryopreservation of swine ovarian tissue : effect of different cryoprotectants on the structural preservation of preantral follicle oocytes [PDF]
The present study aimed to test different cryoprotectants on cryopreservation of pig ovarian tissue. Pig ovaries (n = 3) were collected at a local slaughterhouse. From each ovary, ten cortex samples were taken.

Toxicity of cryoprotective agents at 30°
Abstract The toxicity of four cryoprotective agents (glycerol, dimethylsulfoxide, dextran, magnesium ion) as a function of time was assessed at 30° on isolated rabbit atria. Glycerol, 2·0 M, in Ringer solution killed all atria in less than 30 min. Atria tolerated 2·1 M dimethylsulphoxide in Ringer for 1 hr, 0·7 M glycerol in Ringer for 4
