Abstract
Supercooled water or solutions can be destabilized by the nucleation of ice. Constraining water in a constant-volume (isochoric) container minimizes destabilization through thermodynamic, kinetic, and fluid dynamic means, significantly enhancing supercooling stability. Methods and devices are used for stable and transportable supercooling of aqueous solutions or suspensions, and the stable and long-term preservation of biological matter that may be stored therein.
