Summary

The authors compared the Cryotech LCS 3000 liquid nitrogen system with the CRYOcare argon gas-based system using three different 3 millimeter cryoprobes. It would appear that the argon gas system is initially faster, but it does not achieve as large an ice ball in a warm environment as the liquid nitrogen system.
