Samples collapsing and becoming soft?

Common causes: Insufficient pre-freezing, rapid temperature rise, thick samples

Solution approach: Extend pre-freezing time, thin the samples, optimize the temperature rise curve

Slow cooling or failure to cool down?

Common causes: Dust accumulation in the condenser, excessive environmental heat, abnormal refrigerant

Solution approach: Clean the heat dissipation, improve ventilation, contact for maintenance

Excessive frost on the cold trap?

Common causes: High sample moisture content, frequent opening of the door, incomplete defrosting

Solution approach: Control the loading volume, reduce door opening, perform regular defrosting
