Product Information

Sample application & blotting:

A quick-access hole for easy pipetting onto the grids and the position-able precision blotting arm allow for fast application and user-controlled blotting, while generating reproducible results.

Cryo-EM Plunge Cooler Controlled Blotting

Generate high-quality grids by preventing evaporation and sample dehydration. Simply saturate the porous moisture-retention foam and quickly have a humidified chamber for grid preparation. A trap door prevents drying out before plunging.

Compatibility:

Designed for versatility, the plunger can be used with the MiTeGen MRC Cryostat, NanoSoftTM Foam Dewars or other standard vitrification Dewars.
