Summary

It is recommended to freeze concentrated preparations at a minimal rate of 0.66 K/sec. Best results are observed for a freezing rate of 2.3 K/sec. Such conditions are obtained by freezing preparations in a 7 mm diameter vessel, in a CO2-ethanol mixture at -78 deg C. 20-mm diameter vessels may be used with liquid nitrogen.
