FEI Vitrobot MarkIII

Semi automated plunge-freezing device for cryo-EM sample prepartion.

Application

The vitrobot is used for the rapid vitrification of biological samples for cryo-EM analysis. The improved reliability and reproducibility allows the preparation of frozen hydrated samples for transmission electron microscopy under cryo conditions with reproducible experimental results. Prior to freezing, the samples are maintained in a temperature and humidity controlled environmental chamber. Rapid freezing of samples in thin layer allows optimal preservation under close to physiological conditions.
