Sample Preparation
Aquilos 2 Cryo-FIB
The Aquilos 2 Cryo-FIB is a dedicated instrument to the preparation of thin, electron-transparent lamellas for high-resolution cellular cryo electron tomography.
The Chameleon from SPTLabtech
The Chameleon from SPTLabtech facilitates cryoEM sample preparation at picoliter volumes using self-wicking grids. This method enables rapid freezing (a few hundred msec) after deposition thus potentially solving preferred orientation and protein aggregation problems.
