If you can be more specific about the bacteria you need a cryoprotectant
for, I can try to get you specific information on which formula we use
to preserve our strains. We have a number of cryoprotectants in use:
skim milk is an important one....we also have various combinations
containing bovine serum albumin (Cohn Frac V), sucrose, trehalose,
dextrin, and TSB.
