Q on freezing cells (QnD)

[Wolfgang Schechinger]

Hi TC experts!

Has anyone yet tried to freeze cells in the (micro)plate by just 
exchanging the media for FCS/DMSO (90/10) and storing them ant -80 or 
in Nitrogen? Will the cells get alive again after thawing?
I know that's quick and dirty, but is theer a better way to get more 
than 50 clones (3T3 cells) into the fridge for four weeks?

What do you suggest?
Thanks for replying!
Cheers, 
Wolfgang
