Clipping Station With 16 Clipping Tools

NanoSoft’s Clipping Station is contained in a custom foam dewar. The dewar is designed to hold cryoEM grid box storage pucks right next to the clipping hub (the metal assembly used for clipping), resulting in easy grid box access, reduced contamination and generally easier clipping workflow. The clipping hub uses a “see-saw like”, cantilever mechanism to move the clipping tool guidance cylinder over and away from the autogrid ring. This mechanism is much easier than the rotation of the metal hub from the Thermo Fisher clipping station.
