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?

Space Cryogenics
Space cryogenics is, somewhat obviously, the application of cryogenics to space exploration and science. The use of cryogenics in space optimizes the launching of vehicles, provides power and life support to spacecraft and is critical for many scientific observations.Space cryogenics has a number of challenges and has driven both pure...
Exergy
The science of thermodynamics plays a major role in cryogenics. It underlies the various refrigeration cycles, from Carnot to Brayton (Cold Facts Vol. 32 No. 2) and Joule-Thomson, is a fundamental part of the definition of terms such as coefficient of performance (Cold Facts Vol. 31 No. 1) and even...
Cryogenic Treatment
Cryogenic treatment is the process of cooling materials to cryogenic temperatures temporarily to improve their material properties at room temperature. This is distinct from cooling materials down to cryogenic temperatures to take advantage of phenomena such as superconductivity that only occur at cryogenic temperatures. Cryogenic treatment, sometimes also referred to...
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...
Pressure for an adiabatic liquefaction of nitrogen
I am a student from Chicago, and I need to calculate the pressure necessary for an adiabatic liquefaction of nitrogen.
Thermal expansion coefficient for LN2, LO2 and LH2
Can anyone help me get a table (or diagram) of different thermal expansion coefficient for different cryogenic liquids (especially LN2, LO2 and LH2)?
Small, low power cryocooler to use in a working prototype device
Where can I find a small, low power cryocooler to use in a working prototype device? Please provide a list of suitable manufacturers.
Looking for super insulation for a cylindrical container
We need super insulation for a cylindrical container of approximately 10 cm in diameter and 10 cm height to be kept at -40 ° Centigrade for less than 24 hours (outside=room temperature).
