All these cryovials are 12.0 mm in diameter, with a close fit to the holes on the sample plate.  Two cryovials (Nunc product numbers 340711 and 375299) are not compatible with the standard EF600-102 sample plate because they have a diameter of 12.5 mm and cannot be accommodated.

Other cryovials are being examined.
