Summary of ex vivo shrinkage experiments and model estimates for final relative shrinkage corrected for day since sacrifice.

Target Temperature	Heating Time to Tagret Temp.	Temp. Deviation after reaching Target Temp.	Temp. Difference Sensor - IR Camera	Final Relative Shrinkage; Model Estimates
(°C)	MEAN ± SD (s)	± SD (°C)	MEAN (°C)	MEAN (%) [95 %CI]
60	55.6 ± 5.9	± 0.6	2.5	12.3 [9.6, 15.0]
65	65.4 ± 7.0	± 0.5	4.1	13.8 [11.6, 16.0]
75	70.7 ± 7.2	± 0.6	7.8	16.6 [14.9, 18.2]
85	82.4 ± 10.5	± 0.8	10.5	19.2 [17.1, 21.2]
95	94.3 ± 35.4	± 0.9	13.0	21.7 [18.7, 24.6]

Note: 7 samples were measured for each target temperature which gives a total of 35 experiments; the heating time for each experiment was 1000 seconds
