The 7 pages that link to Cryoprotectant, each with the reason it gives.

• VitrificationRelated: Cryoprotectants raise Tg and suppress nucleation so tissues can be vitrified.

• CryopreservationRelated: These compounds limit ice-related and osmotic injury during cooling.

• DiapauseRelated: Some diapausing animals accumulate these compounds to withstand winter temperatures.

• SurimiRelated: Sugars such as sucrose and sorbitol protect surimi proteins from freezing damage.

• Dimethyl sulfoxideNarrower topic: DMSO is a standard permeating cryoprotectant for many cultured cells.

• Wood frogNarrower topic: Glucose acts as a cryoprotectant in the frog’s tissues.

• Robert EttingerRelated: Cryoprotectants help protect tissues during the preservation process Ettinger advocated.
