Description
Spearlab FD-130 Cryogenic Foam Dewar (130 ml) – Mini : Small, hexagonal outside, hand held foam dewar, maximum volume 175 ml. Each dewar is supplied with a matching foam lid to insulate the contents from ambient air. Dimensions of the cylindrical cavity in this vessel are 2 inches in diameter by 3.5 inches deep, so that it easily holds 130 ml and a maximum volume of 175 ml of liquid nitrogen. The HR4-676 has an overall height of approximately 4.5 inches without cover and the width is 3.5 inches at the top and 3.75 inches on the bottom (measured on the flats of the hexagon). Circular cover is approximately 0.5 inches tall x 3.5 inches diameter.

Spearlab Cryogenic Foam Dewar (500 ml) – Small: The small foam dewar shape is circular, with a protruding handle, so that it resembles a large teardrop. Each dewar is supplied with a matching foam lid to insulate the contents from ambient air. Dimensions of the cylindrical cavity in this vessel are 4.5 inches in diameter by 2.8 inches deep, so that it easily holds 500 ml of liquid nitrogen.

Spearlab FD-800 Cryogenic Foam Dewar (800 ml) – Standard: The standard foam dewar shape is circular, with a protruding handle, so that it resembles a large teardrop. Each dewar is supplied with a matching foam lid to insulate the contents from ambient air. Dimensions of the cylindrical cavity in this vessel are 5.8 inches in diameter by 2.8 inches deep, so that it easily holds 800 ml of liquid nitrogen.

Spearlab FD-1400 Cryogenic Foam Dewar (1400 ml) – Large: The large foam dewar shape is circular, with a protruding handle, so that it resembles a large teardrop. Each dewar is supplied with a matching foam lid to insulate the contents from ambient air. Dimensions of the cylindrical cavity in this vessel are 6.3 inches in diameter by 3.8 inches deep, so that it easily holds 1400 ml of liquid nitrogen. Overall height is approximately 6 inches without cover and the width is 9 inches on the short axis and 11 inches on the long axis. Cover approximately 0.5 inches tall x 9 inches diameter.

Spearlab FD-1800 Cryogenic Foam Dewar (1800 ml) – Tall: The tall foam dewar shape is a tapered octagon on the outside with a cylindrical interior. The tapered octagon features a wide, stable base. Each dewar is supplied with a matching foam lid to insulate the contents from ambient air. Dimensions of the cylindrical cavity in this vessel are 3.5 inches in diameter by 12.5 inches deep, so that it holds approximately 1,800 ml of liquid nitrogen. The outside dimensions of the tall dewar are 15.25 inches tall with a 6.25 inches wide top and a 7.75 inches wide base (measured on the flats of the octagon). The cover is 6.5 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches thick.

The patented (USPTO # 7,971,744) design of the Spearlab Cryogenic Foam Dewar makes it easy to handle and safer to use than a traditional low profile glass dewar. Also, because of its lower thermal mass, a foam vessel will cause less boil off when it is filled with liquid nitrogen. Additionally, the dewar will accumulate less frost during regular use. The end result is that less liquid nitrogen is consumed.

The dewars are made from cross-linked polyethylene foam. A density of 4 pounds per cubic foot is used for the 130 ml and 800 ml dewars. A density of 2 pounds per foot is used for the 1400 ml and 2 liter dewars. The higher density foam has significantly higher mechanical strength and stiffness. The lower density foam has slightly lower thermal conductivity. Like most lightweight insulation materials, the thermal conductivity of the foam is predominantly determined by the thermal conductivity of air, which eventually permeates the pores of the foam material.

CryoTong™ – Long
ApplicationsCrystal transfer under cryo temperature
FeaturesArtery clamp style closure30 seconds of cryo temperature180 mm length
Description
The CryoTong is a tool used to manually transfer a crystal mounted on a CrystalCap™ from liquid nitrogen to a magnetic base in a goniometer head positioned in a cryogenic stream, and then back to liquid nitrogen. The one-piece, compact CryoTong is available in two lengths. The long CryoTong is approximately 180 mm in overall length. The artery clamp style maintains the CryoTong in the closed position until the clamp is squeezed, which opens the opposing heads. The heads are non-magnetic stainless steel. The handle is magnetic stainless steel. The inside of the head is machined to closely surround the CrystalCap with loop and crystal in place. A small retaining lip is machined into the lower portion of the head to prevent the CrystalCap from slipping out of the CryoTong when the tool is in the closed position. The CryoTong can maintain the temperature of the crystal at -160°C for up to 30 seconds during room temperature crystal transfers. Choose the proper CryoTong size based upon the pin length required by the configuration of the x-ray data collection hardware used. The 18 mm CryoTong (HR5-112) is to be used with the CrystalCap HT and any other CrystalCap configured for 18 mm.HR5-114 Long CryoTong 18 mm, 180° features the head in alignment with the handle of the CryoTong.

CrystalWand™ Magnetic
ApplicationsCrystalCap Magnetic & CrystalCap Copper Magnetic handling toolDescription
The CrystalWand Magnetic is designed to be used exclusively with the CrystalCap Magnetic, CrystalCap Copper Magnetic, and CrystalCap HT systems during transfer of the caps from the vial to the goniometer head and from the goniometer to the vial. The 6 1/2” (165 mm) long chrome plated steel wand features a plastic housing enclosing a spring tensioned plunger that when depressed, moves a non-magnetic steel platform away from the magnet housed in the end of the wand. This causes the steel CrystalCap to detach from the wand and be placed readily into the vial or the CryoTong™. When the platform is retracted, the wand securely holds the steel CrystalCap Magnetic. The CrystalWand Magnetic 45° (McMiken Tool) offers the same functionality but is bent at a 45° angle at approximately 2.5 cm from the magnet end.HR4-729 CrystalWand Magnetic, StraightHR4-315 CrystalWand Magnetic, 45° (McMiken Tool)

Vial Clamp™ – Straight
ApplicationsVial support and manipulation
FeaturesStraight end tipHemostat style closureDescription
The Vial Clamp™ – Straight is a chrome plated, hemostat style tool. It has a tip shaped to hold the storage vial of all the CrystalCap Systems™ straight when the clamp is closed. The clamp can be locked using the hemostat style closure. This clamp makes it easy to dip the storage vial into liquid nitrogen for crystal storage. The complete length of the clamp is straight, with an overall length of 195 mm. When the vial is placed in the clamp, the length of it is positioned perpendicular, 90° to the length of the clamp.

Vial Clamp™ – Curved
ApplicationsVial support & manipulation
FeaturesCurved end tipHemostat style closureDescription
The Vial Clamp – Curved is a chrome plated, hemostat style tool. It has a tip shaped to hold the storage vial of all the CrystalCap Systems at an angle when the clamp is closed. The clamp can be locked using the hemostat style closure. The end of the clamp, where the vial is held, is curved at either a 45°/135° or 110°/ 70° angle. When the vial is placed in the clamp, the length of it is positioned to the clamp at either of those same angles. The overall length of each clamp is the same, 195 mm.HR4-671 Vial Clamp – Curved 45°/135°HR4-672 Vial Clamp – Curved 110°/70°

CrystalCap™ Holder
pplicationsCrystalCap support inside stainless steel dewars
FeaturesAdjustable heightSupports up to 8 CrystalCaps15 ml vial position for liquid propane500 and 1,000 ml versionsDescription
CrystalCap Holders are convenient stands for holding all CrystalCap™ systems in liquid nitrogen dewars during crystal cryogenic procedures. Available in two sizes. Both holders feature spring-clips to secure the CrystalCap Vials in the holder. Both stands have 3 inches of adjustable Z (height) which allows one to raise or lower the CrystalCaps to the appropriate height, depending upon the liquid nitrogen level in the dewar. Each holder is supplied with a socket driver for height adjustment.500 ml version holds five CrystalCaps, two 15 ml vials (for liquid propane procedures) and fits into the 500 ml dewar. 1,000 ml version holds eight CrystalCaps, two 15 ml vials (for liquid propane procedures) and fits into the 1,000 ml dewar.HR4-707 CrystalCap Holder – 500 ml
