CRYO PREPARATION

  • High pressure freezing is key for the study of intricate changes in fine structure or cellular dynamics. Cryo-immobilize your aqueous samples under high pressure with a unique freezing principle and uncover secrets of the cellular process.
  • The EM GP2 plunge freezes fluid or extremely thin samples spread on an electron microscopy grid into liquid ethane after removing excess fluid by automatic blotting.
  • During Cryo preparation, tools such as forceps and sample holders often ice over and cannot be immediately used for the next sample run. De-icing and drying of the tools at room temperature is time consuming and can cause damage to sensitive components and may prevent their operation.
  • Freeze Substitution and Low Temperature Embedding System The Leica EM AFS2 performs freeze substitution and progressive lowering of temperature (PLT) techniques and allows low temperature embedding and polymerization of resins.
