Re: [DIYbio] Freezing cells with plasmids

Ok next week I will try snap freezing the cells and then placing them into the -20

One thing though: Yeast comp cells are supposed to be frozen very slowly in order to preserve them... Like if you want to get cells you put them in a styrofoam box then place it in the -80. Wouldn't this allow more time for ice crystal formation?

No, but I thought it was the rapidity of freezing that avoided
cells being stabbed/deformed by ice crystals by way of smaller ice crystals
in rapid freezing...  If so, freezing in your -80, or liquid N2, then storing in -20 might get results.
