Hi again!


After sending my last questions about fluorocarbon cooling, I thought of another
one: presumably this process also involves infusion of a cryoprotectant (CP). 
Ignoring just which CP this may be (possibly an important question), is the
CP also dissolved in the fluorocarbon solution? If it is not, then do you 
get a problem with its REMOVAL as you circulate the solution? And if you do
get such a problem, it may or may not be serious (perhaps --- speculating:
once the temperature is low enough and you have the fluorocarbon in the 
brain, the CP is no longer necessary).


Regardless, these results still look very good so far.

			Long long life,
