On average, how many times can you run a Tousimis Samdri-PVT-3D critical point dryer before needing to replace the LCO2 tank?

10 March 2021 0 1K Report

We do not have a scale to monitor the LCO2 tank weight. Is there any other way to determine when 50% of the net LCO2 has been used? If useful, I am using it to dry bacterial biofilms on glass coverslips. Thank you
