Rigaku cryogenics
New technology now makes it possible to eliminate traditional
approaches to cryogen delivery. Instead of inconvenient large and heavy dewars,
or difficult to maintain built-in plumbing, this innovation allows liquid
nitrogen (LN2) to be produced and delivered exactly where it is
needed.
With costs comparable to that of commercially produced LN2, there is
now no reason to accept liability associated with cryogen transport and
handling. Automatically generating and delivering LN2 when and where
it is needed substantially reduces risks associated with uncertain lines of
supply while enhancing productivity.
Some applications where Rigaku cryogenic products are used are:
This Methods paper by Jim Pflugrath is a review of cryocrystallography published in 2004 that was mentioned on the CCP4BB in February 2008. It contains references to other cryocrystallography reviews that would also be useful to read: Macromolecular cryocrystallography—methods for cooling and mounting protein crystals at cryogenic temperatures.
