[Histonet] Does anyone know where I can get a metal container to hold isopentane that I would place my OCT molds into when making Frozen blocks?

Patrick, 

Look up "steel beakers" on the Fisher website (fishersci.com) and you'll see a variety.

Hi Everyone.

I make my Frozen blocks by Immersing the cryo molds in a metal container (Looks like a larger flat base  ½ coke can) filled with Isopentane solution.  That container is then surrounded by Dry Ice.  We need a new metal container.  Does anyone know where I could buy one?

I don't really want to change to an Aluminum block method as I like the penetration freezing I get from liquid emersion.

Thanks

Patrick.
