Explore Cryobiology

Experiment, test your knowledge, and see how preservation works.

Schematic particle arrangements, not a molecular simulation. Actual critical cooling and warming rates depend on the solution and sample size.

Reference: an unprotected solution. Cooling allows a repeating crystal arrangement to form.

Cool the conceptual sample to see the outcome.

Higher CPA can favor glass formation but also raises toxicity concerns. This picture shows physical state, not cell viability.
