that cells are exposed to during freezing in the presence of glycerol and use this to interpret
some key aspects of cryopreservation. The viscosity of the glycerol–water binary system
exceeded 1000cP at− 40° C, whilst the viscosity of the ternary system, glycerol–water–NaCl,
exceeded 100,000 cP at− 55° C. The effect of these high viscosities on the diffusion of water
at a constant temperature during freezing and during cooling at different linear rates has …
