[3dem] HPF, options?

[Claude Antony]

Dear David,
Yes indeed as Andy mentioned the Wohlwend Compact-2 is a very good  
machine. You can also buy the HPM-10 (ex BALTEC machine) from  
AbraFuild in Switzerland. It is exactly the same machine as the old  
BALTEC HPM-010 machine and it is versatile accepts sapphire disks (3  
mm in diameter). This machine has proven to be vitrifying for sure  
samples ranging from bacteria to Drosophila embryo or C elegans.  
Prices can be negotiated of course.
My best,
Claude
