Figure 1

Ice recrystallization inhibition activity of PVA; (A) Example micrograph of crystals grown in PBS alone; (B) Example micrograph of crystals grown in 5 mg.mL−1 PVA; (C) IRI activity as a function of polymer concentration. MLGS = mean largest grain size relative to a PBS control (%). Error bars represent the standard deviation from at least three measurements. (PVA MW = 6.8 kDa).
