Hello, You may check CombiPuck kit Mitegen website https://www.mitegen.com/?s=combipuck+kit <https://www.mitegen.com/?s=combipuck+kit> https://www.mitegen.com/product/combipuck-system/ <https://www.mitegen.com/product/combipuck-system/> which may hold 16 cryo vials with crystal pins. The kit includes CombiPuck and related handling tools. This CombiPuck can be used in any sample changer at the synchrotron beamlines where Unipuck base is used because both pucks share the same size/kind of the puck base. The CombiPuck may fit into the regular shipping dewar up to 5 pucks (80 crystals). The CombiPuck kit also provides the LN2 storage dewar canister for prefrozen crystals in the puck to be stored in a long-term LN2 storage dewar. According to our users feedback, the CombiPuck seems to give crystals less or no ice after handling and shipment to be seen on the X-ray beam probably due to vial protection of the crystals with liquid LN2 to hold longer time of LN2 temperature to the crystal samples.
