I'm sort of conducting a survey - how do you freeze blocks prior to
cryostat sectioning? A PI in our department is writing a grant and offered
to include a freezing set-up (we just use a dewar of LN2 now) - the only
equipment I've come across on the web is the giant NesLab bath. Is a
styrofoam cooler of LN2 with a beaker of some solvent still a reasonable
way to go, or is there some spiffy gizmo we can buy?

Thanks! (Sorry about the cross-post for those of you on both lists)
