X-Message-Number: 5185 Date: Wed, 15 Nov 1995 21:47:29 +0100 (MET) From: Eugene Leitl <> Subject: propane proposal & kraut kryonix First I'd like to thank those who saw fit to answer/comment on my last information request considering early cryonics society bootstrap. Thanks a lot! Considering fluid propane for perfusion: 1) Fluid propane is a hydrocarbon solvent which does not solve water but destructs phospholipide bilayers at any temperature. This is probably not what you've wanted. 2) provided you suceed to perfuse your tissue with propane: at desuspension every single trace of propane has to be removed from tissue unless you want to get gaseous propane bubbles upon rewarming. -- Eugene Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=5185
