Abstract

Cryoprotective efficiency of cryopreservative solutions, based on combining different cryoprotectants during platelet freezing, was studied in the research. There were established the cryoprotectant combinations such as: 10% dimethyl acetamide (DMAC)/1,2-propane diol (1,2-PD), DMAC/glycerol and DMAC/oxyethylated glycerol (n = 5), significantly increasing the integrity of cryopreserved platelets, compared to the results of freezing under protection of monocryoprotective media, containing one of the mentioned above substances, including 10% dimethyl sulfoxide.
