We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Liquid Nitrogen",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Titan Krios opens eyes for structural biology from
FEI, which we summarised at the time by saying "FEI has introduced what it says is a revolutionary, high-throughput, cryo transmission electron microscope (TEM) that combines high-throughput sample handling with state-of-the-art electron
optics".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Software helps HTA compliance from
Brady Lab: "When samples are stored under HTA rules for purposes such as research, transplantation or teaching, a traceable inventory system is required by law".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Micromeritics
concerning its Asap 2050 Xtended pressure sorption analyser
- take a look at Pressure sorption analyser has extended range
which says: "Retaining many of the design elements of Micromeritics's popular Asap 2020, the Asap 2050 analysis manifold is equipped with a pressure transducer capable of operating from vacuum to ten atmospheres".
Take a look also at the news release from Brady Lab, GLP/HTA label printer is 'revolutionary',
as well as Admet makes additions to its accessories catalogue from Admet,
and Lab labels stop samples going awol from Brady Lab.
