X-Message-Number: 15410 From: "Jeff Grimes" <> Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2001 15:15:57 -0700 Subject: P.S. Oops, I just read this statement by Mr. Ettinger a bit more carefully: "If anyone wants a summary of the procedure used on the sheep heads, which became the CI temporary standard, and doesn't want to bother with the detail on the web site, here it is in brief: The CPA is 75% V/V glycerol in a base of buffered Ringer's with Mannitol, at about 45 deg F. One pass." Hey! What's that little word "temporary" doing in there?! Does it mean that this "standard" isn't actually the standard any more, because it was only temporary? What's going on here? Is the temporary standard still being used or not? If not, why are you telling me what used to be used in the past? If it is still being used, why is it "temporary"? Or why was it temporary in the past? Jeff Grimes. Get your free E-mail at http://www.zdnet.co.uk/mail/ Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=15410
