In our recent experience, larger PEGs work similarly to smaller PEGs as far
as vitrification goes. Additionally, transferring crystals to a solution of
increased PEG concentration (as compared to mother liquor) can substantially
reduce the amount of cryo needed for freezing and can be more gentle on crystals
than just using a high concentration of cryo. Here is a reference that
tests cryoprotective ability of PEG 2000 & 20000.
