Summary of a selected set of experiments on DP6 and 6M DMSO, at a cooling rate of 50°C/min from room temperature down to the storage temperature, Ts. PFTC refers to removing dissolved gasses by a freeze-thaw cycle before actual experimentation, C refers to an observation of crystallization during cooling, and F refers to fracture formation, either during cooling or at the onset of rewarming.
