Research Abstract |
The cryoprotectant is commonly used to protect reproductive tissues during freezing and thawing. As an effort to investigate the osmotic behavior of cryoprotectant, near-infrared (NIR) techniques were applied to monitor the concentration of ethylene glycol (EG) within reproductive tissues. The proposed method provided a novel tool to investigate the optimal freezing method of reproductive tissues on cryoprotectant, ice crystals and cell destruction.
