Dear all,
I would like to enquire within the community about their experience
with the black plastic coolant container of the FEI Vitrobot.
We (with a Vitrobot Model Mark III) have not very good experience
concerning their lifetime. Again and again we experience very quickly
some initial cracks upon cooling that grow quite quickly within a few
months to a sizeable leak of liquid N2, making the whole device not
very user-friendly anymore and as well a bit of an safety hazard,
especially for less experienced users. Moreover, the replacement
prize is quite high.
I was wondering if anybody has had similar experiences and I am
curious of how they have dealt with this situation.
Many thanks in advance for your feedback.
Kind wishes,
Tillmann
