These freezers are chosen primarily because they maintain a sub -150°C storage environment and thus, keep the samples below -135°C, the glass transition temperature of water (Tg). This cryogenic storage practice preserves sample viability. The concern is what happens to innocent samples (the ones not intended to be thawed) during routine rack exposures. Thousands of innocent s
