[3dem] rusted cryo holder 626

[Ariel Talavera]

Dear all,

After an overnight bake out of the Gatan cryo holder 626 in a Gatan 
pumping station, the tip of the holder got completely rusted (attached 
photo). I read a mail (of about 5 years ago) in this mailing list 
talking about the same issue but I could not find a solution for it.
I would appreciate a lot if anyone has any suggestion, or procedure, to 
clean (if possible) the holder and remove all this rust. Should I send 
it to Gatan for them to clean it? Do you know if there is any other 
company giving this kind maintenance service for the cryo holders?

Thanks a lot advance for help
Best regards,
Ariel--
