With my first child due in January, this is a subject I have been actively investigating. My best lead so far is CryoCell International 516-223-5050 I spoke to them about six weeks ago, and they said that although they weren't quite set up yet, they would be "very soon." They promised to send me literature, which I haven't received yet (and am beginning to think that I will never receive) My other two leads are Biocite, and someone named David Harris at the University of Arizona (Tucson). I will be chasing these down as soon as I get a spare minute. If anyone else out there has information to contribute, I too would be grateful. ---Brian Wowk Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=5179
