I am trying to see how Suda's experiments with cryopreservation of cat
brains [*] relates to cryopreservation as performed today (on humans).
Suda states that he perfused his brains (the cats', not his, that is)
with 15% glycerol by volume.  How does this translate into terms of
molarity?  If someone knows and can explain the answers that would be
great.

Ta.
