Vendors for cryopreserved rat arteries
My department is starting up a microsurgery training lab as an adjunct to our resident curriculum. Instead of using live rats, we want to pursue the option of using cryopreserved rat arteries. I have been unsuccessful in finding animal/rodent vendors who deal in this. I basically found a lot of...
Source for pressure switch
Where can I find a pressure switch operating in the range 0.2 to 0.4 psi which is not affected by magnetic fields up to about 1000 Gauss?
Cryostat for storing fish samples at -20 degrees C
We are a small Food Chemistry Laboratory functioning within the Seychelles Bureau of Standards. We wish to purchase a cryostat for the purpose of storing fish samples at *-20ºC* prior to the analysis of Histamine in the tissue of Tuna by HPLC.
Looking for information on the liquid nitrogen level controllers industry.
I am currently researching liquid nitrogen level controllers and was wondering if you had any information on the industry (numbers sold per annum, and any systems that don’t involve a solenoid.) Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Cryogenic data poster
I would like to get several copies of the wonderful “Cryogenic Data” poster that was produced by the Culham Laboratory in 1970. Does anyone know from whom they can be obtained?

Stability
Stability refers to the ability of a device employing superconductors to remain in its superconducting state after part of the superconductor transitions back to its normal conducting state due to a disturbance. While the concept can apply to many superconducting devices—transmission lines, generators, motors, etc.—it is most commonly considered in...
Cable-in-Conduit Conductors
Cable-in-Conduit Conductors (CICC) are a common form of superconducting cable used in large-scale applications. There are several varieties of CICCs, but they all consist of many small, stabilized superconducting wires contained within a conduit through which a coolant (typically supercritical He II) flows. Figure 1 shows the cross section of...
Bayonet Coupling
A bayonet coupling is a demountable joint that allows for quick and easy connection and disconnection of cryogenic components, including transfer lines, cryostats, liquefiers and refrigerators. Bayonets provide a number of advantages, chief among them the ability to connect and disconnect the bayonets while components they connect are still at...
Air Separation and Liquefaction
by Nils Tellier, PE, President, EPSIM Corporation (CSA CSM) nils@epsim.us All illustrations courtesy EPSIM Corporation Background History of Air Separation and Liquefaction This section builds on a rich history of methods to develop deep refrigeration and cryogenic liquefaction during the 19th Century. You are encouraged to read Cryo Central’s History...
Bose-Einstein Condensate
A Bose-Einstein condensate, first proposed in 1925 by Albert Einstein based on work done by Satyendra Nath Bose (the same Bose from whom the term boson is derived), is a super-cold state of matter in which almost all of the individual atoms have “condensed” down to the lowest possible quantum...
Cold Technology for Pest Control
While it does not reach temperatures cold enough to be called cryogenic, carbon dioxide snow is at the heart of a new way of dealing with unwanted pests. It utilizes a quick freezing process that takes advantage of the properties of carbon dioxide snow and has a number of benefits...
Cryogenic Finishing
The following 3 articles discuss the uses and procedures of various type of cryogenic finishing. 1) By Robin A. Rhodes, Cryogenic Institute of New England, Inc. rrhodes@nitrofreeze.com Cryogenic Deflashing is employed to remove undesired residual mold flash that remains on molded parts after they are removed or ejected from the...
Convert PSI or Torr to Degrees Kelvin?
When using helium vapor bulbs under 30K, what is the formula to convert from PSI or Torr to degrees Kelvin?
Searching for a company to make a specific kind of cryogenic chamber
I am writing a proposal to do some deep space simulations of mechanical vibrations at cryogenic temperatures. For the research, I will need to obtain a chamber that has a space of approximately 1700 cubic inches (or a 12in. cube) that also has an optical viewing window.
Cryogenic cooling as possible treatment of aluminum parts for semiconductor industry
I’m interested in cryogenic cooling as a possible treatment of aluminum parts for the semiconductor industry.
