      Another delicate "freezer" story: when we planned our new tissue
      &amp; DNA storage and revised our deep freezing champers
      previously used for storage of dead carcasses awaiting mazaration,
      we found that the champers failed apparently several times earlier
      (with responsible colleagues either failed to notice or not
      telling before we started physical cleaning of the thawed
      champers). When stepping onto the aluminium plate flooring of the
      champers, thick dark blood was welling through all cracks and gaps
      necessitating, removal of the complete flooring to get rid of the
      blood (which - luckily - had not soaked into the insulation
      material). Because the door-heating system couldn't turned off,
      inside temperatures climbed above 30&deg;C ....<br>
