I use the Gentle Jane system and it consistently improves cell morphology
over the standard methods of freezing tissue.  The oil protection works well
and is a lot easier than covering the surface with warm Cryo-gel or OCT when
you might need to go back to a block.

We are looking to purchase the CryoJane system and are wondering if the
following tools provide benefits warranting their purchase.  I would
greatly appreciate any information from those of you who use them or choose
not to.  The products are the stand alone Gentle Jane Snap Freezer, the
Vac-Away system, and the oil protection acessory kit.  Thanks for any help
you can offer!
