Background:

Vitrification is a key cryopreservation method for tissues and organs.
Balancing cryoprotective efficacy with toxicity is a major challenge in CPA mixture design.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a predictive model for the toxicity kinetics of multi-cryoprotectant (CPA) mixtures.
To identify CPA mixtures with minimal toxicity for vitrification applications.

Main Methods:

Developed a multi-CPA toxicity model incorporating specific, non-specific, and interaction toxicity.
Utilized sloppy model analysis to identify key toxicity drivers.
Integrated the toxicity model with a vitrification/devitrification model for optimization.

Main Results:

The model accurately predicted toxicity for single, binary, and ternary CPA solutions.
Non-specific toxicity of propylene glycol and interactions involving formamide were identified as critical factors.
An optimized vitrification solution of 7.4 molal glycerol, 1.4 molal DMSO, and 2.4 molal formamide was identified.

Conclusions:

The developed multi-CPA toxicity model effectively predicts CPA mixture toxicity.
Mathematical optimization can guide the design of safer vitrification solutions.
This work paves the way for optimizing complete vitrification processes.
