I don’t know, Benjamin. Elsa freezes things so fast that maybe she is really making vitreous ice! :-)

<div dir="ltr">While I don't know anything about the holder, I find the name "Elsa" a bit humorous. For anyone with young kids who has watched the movie Frozen, you know that Elsa does two things: (1) She turns everything she touches to solid ice,
and (2) She always wants to "let it go." Both of those things are undesirable for cryo holders! :-)<br>

<div>I haven't seen any responses to this, but we are also curious about if anyone has purchased or tested an Elsa Cryo transfer holder and their opinion about it - particularly, if folks have been able to get high resolution data with it. </div>
