Hi Matthew

In the UK Molecular Dimensions sell the cane sleeves – since you can get the prices in dollars I’m sure they ship internationally
https://www.moleculardimensions.com/products/3808-CryoSleeve/


I’m not aware of the cryo vial holders but Molecular Dimensions still sell (well they are listed on their website) the old style ESRF sample pucks
https://www.moleculardimensions.com/products/3842-ESRFEMBL-Sample-Changer-Basket/
which hold ten vials and fit nicely in a foam dewar.
It holds the vials in place magnetically so you would need to buy the transfer support

as presumably you are planning on transferring to canes after freezing, or bodge another solution.

Subject: [ccp4bb] Looking for alternatives for discontinued crystallography items

Hi,

I am looking for alternative suppliers or similar items for the following products that were carried by Hampton Research but have since been discontinued.

1. Cryo vial holder.  This is a hexagonal, metal holder that can hold 8 cryo vials.  It is handy for freezing multiple crystals at once and fits nicely in a medium Spear Lab Dewar.

2. Cryo cane protector.  This is a plastic shield that fits over a cryo cane to protect vials from being dislodged during handling.

Any information regarding substitute products or creative solutions for fulfilling the roles of these abandoned products is welcome.

Thanks,
Matt
