Abstract:
The estimation of several cellular biophysical parameters must be made in order to mathematically predict optimal cryopreservation protocols. These parameters include total cell volume, osmotically inactive volume, cell surface area, and relative water and solute permeabilities. Recent attention has been paid to the determination of the osmotically inactive volume and, specifically, an argument was made suggesting that this volume was incorrectly determined in the literature [4]. Here we show that this assertion is false.

Van der Waals Equation
First, the attractive forces between molecules, which are stronger at higher densities and reduce the pressure, are considered by adding to the pressure a term equal to the square of the molar density multiplied by a positive coefficient a. Second, the volume...
