One of these is the sugar trehalose. No other tested cryoprotectant comes even close to this performance. Thus trehalose would appear set to replace all other cryoprotectants, except for one significant defect. It is very, very expensive. So as a starting point we will assume that a large amount of sucrose in used in the cryo-perfusiate so that desiccation without massive tissue destruction would then be a possibility.
Desiccation requires that all water be removed from tissue.
This could be achieved by thawing the patient, embalming and then air drying at room temperature at a negligible expence. Unfortunately the chances for reanimation would then also appear to be negligible. Vaccuum freeze drying could be used instead, but then the cost would be prohibitive. Solvents such as methanol or acetone have been used to thaw small frozen tissue blocks at -80 C with good results. Although at room temperature these solvents dissolve lipids and fix proteins, at low temperatures these effects are largely prevented, although some DNA denaturation still occurs.
