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
