Cooling Bath Temperature Guide

This document lists various organic solvents and salts that can be used with dry ice or liquid nitrogen to produce cooling baths at different sub-zero temperatures. It provides the name of the cooling agent, solvent or salt used, the temperature achieved, and any relevant notes. Common solvents and salts that can produce cooling baths between -5°C and -130°C are included.
