It's not something I've done myself but I did a little research on it before.
This may be of use to you if it's something you're looking to try.

The poster harvests the yeast from the trub rather than skimming from the krausen.

It was worth a shot. Try making a little starter out of it and stepping it up from there.
There's always next time:)
I started looking into this for when I start brewing AG (the BIAB variety). Looks like a good way of getting more value out of a pack/tube of yeast.

Check out this setup, I have been toying with this idea but this looks like a perfect way to top crop safely.

I don't believe yeast will freeze . Better off in the fridge. I've top cropped lively yeasts ( like London Ale Yeast III).Just used a slotted spoon.
