FEI introduces new cryo sample prep tool for organic samples

Dec. 1, 2005 — FEI Co. of Hillsboro, Ore., announced it has introduced its next-generation Vitrobot, an automated vitrification device for plunge-freezing of aqueous samples.

The system maintains the cryo-fixation process at constant and user-definable physical and mechanical conditions, delivering reproducible sample freezing and high throughput.

The technique of cryo fixation and imaging of aqueous samples at cryo temperatures in a transmission electron microscope is used in nanobio research and by the chemical and pharmaceutical industries for studying colloidal solutions of polymers, pigments and other nanoparticles.
