Cryopreservation techniques are valuable for the preservation of genetic properties in cells, and the development of this technology contributes to various fields In a previous study, we reported an isotonic freezing medium composed of poly(zwitterion) (polyZI), which alleviates osmotic shock, unlike typical hypertonic freezing media. In this study, we optimized the primitive freezing medium composed of emerging polyZI. Imidazolium/carboxylate-type polyZI (VimC3 C) was the optimal chemical structure. The molecular weight and degree of ion substitution (DSion ) were not significant factors...
