Results of experiments concerned with the influence of cryobiological variables on the in vitro survival of frozen-thawed fetal rat pancreases (permeation of additive, warming rate, and dilution rate) and experiments concerned with the warming rate and dilution rate had no observable effect on the survival of 17-day fetal pancreases, but the permeation of additive was critical. Also critical was the age of the fetal pancreas, with the survival of 18- and 19-day fetal pancreases after freezing and thawing being much lower than that of 17-day fetal pancreases. (JMT)
