[Histonet] Flammable Sprays in Cryostats

[Hannen, Valerie]

We received the same letter months ago.  We changed to a non-flammable spray.  It is called STATFREEZE, we purchase it from STATLAB.  The catalog number is SL202/134a.  Be careful if you order it because they also sell a product called STATFREEZE that is flammable.

I just received a letter from Leica Biosystems where they are prohibiting the usage of flammable

freezing sprays in their cryostats.  What are others using in their cryostats to instantly freeze specimens?



Thank you.
