Abstract
A method for hyper-fast cooling of samples is described. The samples are secured in a sample container, then the sample container inserted into a cryogenic cooling chamber through an opening of the cooling chamber. The sample container is placed some distance away from a cooling head, but within range of a continuous stream of pressurized liquid coolant emitted by the cooling head, where, the sample is hyper-cooled by spraying the sample container with a continuous stream of the pressurized liquid coolant.
