La vitrificación ocurre naturalmente en varios sistemas de plantas, especialmente en la madera y algunas semillas. En estas se preservan las semillas maduras mediante la combinación de deshidratación junto a una elevación de los azúcares, con lo que se crean las condiciones necesarias para la formación de vidrio. 1, record 1, Spanish, - vitrificaci%C3%B3n

Vitrification refers to a form of cryopreservation where cooling rates are so rapid (minus 20,000 degrees/minute) that ice does not have a chance to form, and the mixture of cryoprotectant and egg forms a "glass-like" gel. 2, record 2, English, - vitrification

La vitrificación implica la inmersión directa de los óvulos en nitrógeno líquido, cuya temperatura es de -196°C, previo tratamiento de los mismos con sustancias crioprotectoras. La principal ventaja de esta metodología es que no se [forman] cristales de hielo que pueden lesionar al óvulo al actuar como verdaderas cuchillas sobre las estructuras celulares. 2, record 2, Spanish, - vitrificaci%C3%B3n
