Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are methods for non-cryogenic vitrification of biological materials that include the steps of providing a biological sample and vitrification medium on a capillary substrate network within a desiccation chamber and providing both a heat energy and a lowered atmospheric pressure to provide for rapid vitrification without the vitrification medium or biological sample exhibiting cryogenic temperature or boiling as a result of lowered atmospheric pressure.
