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.

Dewar
A dewar is a type of cryostat named after Sir James Dewar, the researcher who first developed the concept of a vacuum insulated container with silvered walls to reflect thermal radiation. Dewar was the first to liquefy hydrogen, and he created the device to store his discovery. The thermos bottle...
Stirling and Gifford-McMahon Cryocoolers
Stirling and Gifford-McMahon (GM) cryocoolers are two of the most commonly used cryocoolers in cryogenics. Both devices have a significant industrial base and operate at a wide range of temperatures and capacities. The thermodynamic cycles for both of these cryocoolers are quite similar. The Stirling cycle consists of a compressor,...
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
A significant commercial application of cryogenics is the liquefaction, transport and storage of natural gas. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is generally 95 percent methane with a few percent ethane and much lower concentrations of propane and butane. LNG liquefies at 111.6 K. Unlike many applications of cryogenics, the motivation for...
Cryogenic Treatment of Materials
F.J. Diekman Controlled Thermal Processing, Inc. info@metal-wear.com Cryogenic Processing (also called cryogenic treatment, and incorrectly “cryogenic tempering”) is a process that uses cryogenic temperatures to modify materials to enhance their performance. Cryogenic Processing involves the slow reduction in temperature of the material to at least -300°F (-185°C) and holding the...
Cryogenics in Space
Peter Kittel University of California-Berkeley pkittel@cal.berkeley.edu Space Cryogenics is the application of cryogenics to space missions. These applications fall into two broad areas, supporting space science missions and supporting the space transportation infrastructure. Science applications: The atmosphere is opaque to much of the electro-magnetic spectrum. In space, the absence of...

Material/gel/epoxy to transfer cold temperature of a cryo-box to a test article
I’m on the hunt for a material/gel/epoxy that will transfer the cold temperature of a cryo-box to a test article. The cryo-box is curved and the test article is at the same curvature. I’m looking for something to put between them to make the surface of the test article as...
Manufacture of brazed aluminum heat exchangers: need consultant
I’m seeking a consultant with experience in the manufacture of brazed aluminum heat exchangers for cryogenic applications. Is there anyone you could recommend to me?
Looking for manufacturers of cryogenic dewars with infrared detectors (long wave)
We are looking for manufacturers of cryogenic dewars with infrared detectors (long wave). We need these dewars for repairing infrared systems (thermographic systems) and we cannot find such glass dewars. Do you know any manufacturers’ addresses?
