Table 1.

Summary of the thermal events observed by DSC of CryoStor10 samples following freezing and thawing at different cooling and warming rates: glass transition temperatures (Tg1) and softening temperature (Tg2), heat of crystallization (ΔHc), heat of melting (ΔHm). Superscript letters indicate statistical contrasts between means for the different cooling and warming rates applied at a 95% confidence level.

Cooling rate (°C min−1) Warming rate (°C min−1) Tg1 (°C) Tg2 (°C) ΔHc (J g−1) ΔHm (J g−1) ΔHm − ΔHc (J g−1)
