Frozen Vs. Lyophilized Plasmas

From Kim Kinney at Clarian in Indianapolis:

Hi George,  I was wondering if I could get opinions on how techs feel about lyophilized vs. frozen calibrators, QC, and deficient plasmas?  I am partial to frozen because I think they behave more like plasma.  Lyophilized requires a reconstitution time and always seems to have a touch of “cloudiness” for lack of a better word! Any expert opinions out there?
