You freeze mammalian cells by dunking them in LN2? I've... never heard of anyone do that. I've always put them in either a Mr. Frosty or a styrofoam conical holder (makeshift Mr. Frosty)

I really enjoy that the actual name for a scientific tool is Mr. Frosty.

I guess I forgot about the first part of the meme and was talking bacteria, sorry. For eucaryotic cells sure you'd take your time in a -80°C first.

i for one also think it's most intuitive to assume you're talking about the last part of the meme when it's not specified in the comment
