Re: [Histonet] URGENT! Questions regarding snap freezing in liquid nitrogen with isopentene
There is abundant advice for you in
textbooks written 40 years ago (and
more recently too). ASK YOUR
SUPERVISOR to suggest books or
review articles.
For an honours-year project you should
be guided by your local boss and the
literature, not by answers from an
Internet listserver. Anyone can
answer question. I could have answered
yours with all sorts of fake rubbish.
Would you have ueed it in your
honours dissertation?
