Using this method the devitrification temperatures T<sub>g</sub> of aqueous solutions of such cryoprotectants as glycerol, DMSO, PEO-1500 within a wide range of concentrations were determined. For the first time T<sub>g</sub> values within 5…15% (weight/weight) concentrations range were found-out.</p> ER -
