we have those 800ml dewars at our beamlines and I would not by them
anymore. The green lid is not really insulating and the working area
inside the cylinder is too small. In order to use it for sample
manipulations, one has to fill it completely with LN2, which will cause
uncontrolled LN2 spilling while moving the dewar.
I personally prefer the good old stainless steel dewars together with a
self-made metal lid.
Best regards,

Dear all,
Does anyone in the biocrystallogaphy community use foam dewars for
handly liquid nitrogen and freezing/manipulating frozen protein crystals ?
We are interested in the following dewar package from Hampton Research
:

But before purchasing, we would like to have any comments on the
advantages and drawbacks from people who already tried those dewars.
Thanks in advance for your help and advices.
