Suggestion: Rather than setting cell size at an arbitrary one meter, decide how close you want the patients together in one cell, and how many patients you want per cell, and optimize accordingly. In terms of efficient use of space, the ideal system would use hexagonal cells, like a beehive - perhaps one patient per hex, perhaps six per hex. Would this involve increased construction costs which would negate the savings in space and LN2? Or should it be considered? Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=2032
