Ice nucleation in aqueous solutions of short- and long-chain poly(vinyl alcohol) studied with a droplet microfluidics setup

Lukas Eickhoff et al.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between the molecular size of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and its ice nucleation activity. The experiments show that the ice nucleation activity of shorter PVA chains significantly decreases with a decrease in molar mass. The results support the view that PVA polymers and oligomers act as heterogeneous ice nucleators.

Characterizing and measuring the ice nucleation kinetics of aqueous solutions in vials

Leif-Thore Deck et al.

Summary: The stochastic nature of ice nucleation poses a challenge in the freezing and freeze-drying processes of biopharmaceuticals in vials. This study presents a method to estimate nucleation kinetic parameters and their uncertainty in order to facilitate model-based freezing process design. The methodology accounts for both the inherent stochasticity and variability in nucleation sites among vials, and the extended model demonstrates good agreement with experimental data.

HUB: a method to model and extract the distribution of ice nucleation temperatures from drop-freezing experiments

Ingrid de Almeida Ribeiro et al.

Summary: The heterogeneous nucleation of ice is a significant atmospheric process, and drop-freezing experiments are crucial for determining the ice nucleation activity. However, interpreting and analyzing the results of these experiments can be challenging, as noise may be present and there is a lack of rigorous statistical analysis regarding the necessary number of droplets and dilutions.

Methods to stabilize aqueous supercooling identified by use of an isochoric nucleation detection (INDe) device

Anthony N. Consiglio et al.

Summary: This work investigates the potential applications of stable aqueous supercooling and presents a new platform for evaluating its stability. Various system modifications were found to significantly enhance the stability of supercooling. A statistical model was also applied to estimate the duration of stable supercooling based on temperature and solution chemistry, leading to the creation of stability maps.

Relating Metabolism Suppression and Nucleation Probability During Supercooled Biopreservation

Anthony N. Consiglio et al.

Summary: Aqueous supercooling is a method to preserve biological matter at subfreezing temperatures, reducing the rate of metabolism. However, supercooled preservation carries the risk of random ice nucleation. This study applies a statistical model to demonstrate the relationship between metabolic rate reduction and supercooling stability and proposes a quantitative approach to balance stability and metabolic reduction in supercooled biopreservation protocols.

Isochoric supercooled preservation and revival of human cardiac microtissues

Matthew J. Powell-Palm et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the preservation and revival of autonomously beating, 3D human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiac microtissues at sub-zero centigrade through isochoric supercooling, without the use of chemical cryoprotectants. It suggests that functional 3D engineered tissues could serve as a valuable testbed for studying complex tissue biopreservation in a genetically human context, and that isochoric supercooling may offer a robust method for preserving and reviving engineered tissues.

Statistical Approach to Crystal Nucleation in Glass-Forming Liquids

Joachim Deubener et al.

Summary: This work analyzes the methods of crystal nucleation description using statistical approaches, linking classical nucleation theory findings with experimental data on nucleation in glass-forming liquids. Statistical methods of lifetime analysis are shown to be applicable and useful for exploring crystal nucleation problems. Solutions for nucleation rate under steady-state conditions are presented, providing a more detailed description of nucleation beyond classical nucleation theory. Cumulative hazard estimation enables visually examining distributional model assumptions.
