In my science fair, I want to test the effect of three methods of
cryopreservation on plant tissue. One being through quickly freezing/quickly
thawing, freezing slowly/thawing slowly, and vitrifying the plant tissue.
However, I don't really know what chemicals are involved in the vitrification
process and even more important, whether they are acquirable by a high school
student. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
