Often underestimated though is how quickly samples warm when removed from a cryogenic environment. By knowing thermal excursion rates and understanding transient warming events, one can implement automation devices and best practices to ensure that all samples, including innocents, stay well below Tg at all times. This paper presents a recommended workflow based on experimental thermal excursion
