Maybe somebody must buy a small CAS freezer and experiment with it. Freeze a Woodfrog or something to liquid Nitrogen temperatures, and try to bring it back to live after that. There seems to be a desktop CAS freezer available. Maybe that one is affordable for CI or ALCOR or others. Here is a PDF from the Grimsby institute where its mentioned. http://ktn.globalwatchonline.com/epicentric_portal/binary/com.epicentric.contentmanagement.servlet.ContentDeliveryServlet/FOP/Public/Events/Slide%2520show%2520of%2520events/CAS%2520presentation-%2520mike%2520dillon.pdf some parts out of it; Liquid nitrogen table top system (June 2009 installation) Desktop CAS system for the preservation of harvested stem cells.
