See the Asymptote guide to cryopreservation to learn about the physical processes underlying cryopreservation. Measured performance of the various EF600 devices are described elsewhere. Specific questions raised about the EF600;
How does the Stirling engine work?
How is ice nucleation performed in clean rooms?
The minimum operating temperature of the EF600 is -100C is this a problem?
Is vitrification an alternative to standard cryopreservation (slow cooling)?
Is sticking of straws and cryovials to the sample plate a problem?
Can 0.25 ml straws be used in the EF600-100?
What cryovials are compatible with the EF600-102?
Can the EF600 be used to thaw cells?
What are the noise levels for the EF600?
The EF600 comes with pre-set programmes – can these be edited?
