I don't recall it ever being specified. I've always assumed liquid
nitrogen or oxygen temperatures or less, mainly because that's how cold
we freeze sperm and eggs samples, etc., to preserve them.

I suppose 0K would be 'suspended animation'. And might be inimical to all cells before you get there.

Good call - if it is okay for eggs, its probably good enough for a cryoberth.
