[3dem] Elsa cryo holder

I don’t know, Benjamin.  Elsa freezes things so fast that maybe she is really making vitreous ice!  :-)

While I don't know anything about the holder, I find the name "Elsa" a bit humorous. For anyone with young kids who has watched the movie Frozen, you know that Elsa does two things: (1) She turns everything she touches to solid ice, and (2) She always wants to "let it go." Both of those things are undesirable for cryo holders! :-)

Our local sales says

"Gatan has not shipped any production 698 Elas holder yet. The holders won’t start shipping until March of 2018. Gatan cannot discover where they tested the holder, as that is not a complete product and the development is confidential."

Cheers,
Jian

Hi All

I haven't seen any responses to this, but we are also curious about if anyone has purchased or tested an Elsa Cryo transfer holder and their opinion about it - particularly, if folks have been able to get high resolution data with it.

thanks

Hello all,

We are considering the purchase of an Elsa Cryo transfer holder Model 698 from Gatan. It is looking great on paper with its centrosymmetric design, extended hold time to 8h and everything but I am wondering if someone has already experience with it. Either with the standard profile holder or with the ultra-low one.

Thank you for your help,
Anastasia
