Long-term deep-supercooling of large-volume water and red cell suspensions via surface sealing with immiscible liquids

Supercooled water is susceptible to spontaneous freezing, and preventing this process is a challenge. Here, the authors use surface sealing with immiscible liquids to eliminate primary ice nucleation at the water/air interface, enabling deep supercooling of large volumes of water and red cell suspen...
