<p>A cryogenic probe (10') including a cold reservoir (18) having a phase change material and a removable tip in thermal communication with the cold reservoir (18). The cryogenic probe (10') is useable with a thermal charging stand, having at least a heat sink (46), which is capable of precooling the cold reservoir (18) prior to use. Heat is pumped between the cryogenic probe (10') and the thermal charging stand (22) by thermoelectric heat pumps (30, 44).</p> |
