摘要
A new method has been developed for sample packing in rapid freeze-quench electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) kinetic experiments. Sample particles freeze-quenched in chilled isopentane are filtered under pressure through a stainless steel funnel attached to an EPR tube fitted with a porous disk at its bottom. Isopentane exits through the porous disk and the sample particles can be transferred essentially quantitatively into the receiving EPR tube. This device provides a more predictable, reproducible, and time-saving method for sample packing, enables use of a wider range of how velocity, and allows efficient use of valuable reactants.
