[Histonet] Defrosting Cryostat

Tue Oct 12 09:01:23 CDT 2010

How are institutions handling the requirement for defrosting the cryostat during  disinfection?  Do most sites have a spare cryostat to use when one is defrosting or do you pay staff to come in on the weekends to do this?  I know this requirement has been out for over a year and hoping for some good feedback now.
