It is not recommended to place Novec 7000 directly into dry ice to cool it, as the temperature differential may cause it to splatter out of the container. A better option would be to cool the Novec 7000 with liquid nitrogen, similar to using liquid nitrogen to super cool isopentane or 2 methylbutane. Novec 7000 is suitable for histobath working solution, but does not specifically advise that Novec 7000 can be used with liquid nitrogen. A better option for using liquid nitrogen might be the more traditional use of isopentane or 2 methylbutane.

Is it feasible to use Novec as a medium to transfer heat out of tissue specimens for super cooling without a Histochill unit? Can dry ice be added to the Novec for cooling? Additionally, is it suitable to place the Novec in a vessel and then submerge that vessel in Liquid Nitrogen, or would this temperature impact the efficacy or structure of the Novec?
