Low-CPA vitrification of stem cells with conventional plastic straw (PS). (A) Typical images showing the vitrification of VSP but not VSQ during cooling with PS and devitrification of the vitrified VSP during warming with the PS. VSP: Vitrification solution for PS which is the culture medium of mESCs or hADSCs with 2 M PROH (penetrating) and 1.3 M trehalose (non-penetrating). (B) Viability of mESCs and hADSCs either with (w/) or without (W/O) alginate hydrogel encapsulation (Encap) before and after vitrification in VSP. **: p < 0.01.
