Freeze drying of decellularized vascular scaffolds. (A) Three freeze-drying protocols were investigated, Tf=−10°C, Tf=−40°C and snap frozen samples in a precooled −60°C chamber to Tf=−40°C. (B) Freeze-dried sample on mandrel ensures even drying. (C) Scaffold retains shape after removal from mandrel.
