[3dem] Experience with Simple Origin Cryo Holders (Model 201)?

[Tim Gruene]

Hi Berith,

as far as I know Rigaku's Synergy-ED comes with the Simple Origin cryo
holder, but I am not sure which model. They seem very happy, and I
would be tempted to go for it, for our ELSA 698 is no good, at least
for ED. In case you don't receive answers here, you can contact them
directly.
Best,
Tim
