I have not heard of anyone checking for suitable cryo in that fashion how fast can you do it before it is affected by room temp and how would you know about the ice rings, but when you have crystal(s) and not crystal you can freeze different ones in several different cryos (sugars, glycerol etc) and take them with you to the trip. good luck! -- Karthik
