A multi-purpose cryostat for freezing biological materials
Abstract
The design, construction, and preliminary testing of a low temperature cryostat capable of freezing biological materials in a controlled and reproducible manner are described. By introducing slight modifications to the cryostat it is possible to carry out freezing experiments up to about 2 cm diameter using one of three different cooling processes.
