摘要

Reduction or complete prevention of ice crystal formation during freezing ofbiological specimens is mandatory for two important biological applications:(1) cryopreservation of living cells or tissues for long-term storage, and (2)cryo-fixation for ultrastructural investigations by electron microscopy. Here,a protocol that is fast, easy-to-use, and suitable for both cryo-fixation andcryopreservation is described. Samples are rapidly cooled in tightly sealedmetal tubes of high thermal diffusivity and then plunged into a liquid cryogen.Due to the fast cooling speed and high-pressure buildup internally in theconfined volume of the metal tubes, ice crystal formation is reduced or completelyprevented, resulting in vitrification of the sample. For cryopreservation,however, a similar principle applies to prevent ice crystal formation duringre-warming. A detailed description of procedures for cooling (and re-warming)of biological samples using this technique is provided.
