The phase transitions in aqueous solutions of glycerol and PEO-1500 within the temperature range of +30 to -150 degrees C have been studied using the methods of thermoplastic analysis and volumetric scanning tensodilatometry. We present the revealed phenomenon of cluster cyrystallization of these solutions as well as principles of describing this phenomenon using state diagrams, containing the intervals of concentration corresponding to the existence of amorphous and cryocolloid fractions. We note that for the cryocolloid fraction, a low temperature association of molecules of cryoprotective agents leads the formation of ice nanocrystals either close to or directly inside the aggregations. These fractions exist in cooled cryoprotective solutions near the vitrification temperatures of the liquid phase and may contribute to the initiation of damaging events in cryopreserved biological systems. Our data may be helpful in explaining the peculiarities observed during crystallization of cryoprotective solutions and may further contribute to a broader understanding of the principles of protection and protocol optimization of biological materials at temperatures approaching vitrification.
