Hi David
I was using a very similar Belle Technology setup during my PhD.
One thing we did was to modify the receiving dewar in the microscope chamber by
screwing in small metal clips to the inside wall such that standard Hampton
magic wands could be clipped immediately after plunging. That allo
Thanks for all the input. I'll try to respond to some of the points made.
Kelly - the dewar is quite narrow in diameter so there's little space to
maneuver, the puck fits snugly. Unfortunately we are limited by the
size of the port so we can't use a larger one. Additionally the dewar
sits b
Think about "hyperquenching" (a high-falluting name meaning to use a stream of
gas to blow off the cold layer that accumulates above the surface of the liquid
nitrogen). We just blow some nitrogen at the surface of the dewar, very low
tech...but it works. Importantly, you can use a more leisurel
We have a similar setup at Leicester, but its new enough not to have got
that far yet!
I'd be interested in any replies you get.
best wishes, Peter

Hi,
Sometimes the forming of ice is due to the high humidity in the air. I
recommend to put a dehumidifier in the room or silicone gel in your camber.

Is there room in the LN2 to plunge directly in, then maneuver into
puck? That's what I did, with a different setup, but still anaerobic and
moving into pucks. I did not run into ice problems. If there is not room
within the LN2 bowl, can you use a larger one?
I've found any hesitation when headin
Hi all,
I've been using a Belle technologies anaerobic glovebox with in built
microscope and liquid nitrogen dewar port in an attempt to harvest and
cryo-cool crystals in an oxygen free environment.
I've been having some problems with icing and think this is most likely
due to slow speed tha
