About

The University of Warwick awarded a contract to FEI UK Ltd for the purchase of a semi-automated plunge-freezing device for reproducible preparation of samples for cryo-TEM.

The device supports the Advanced Bioimaging RTP, which provides 3D electron microscopy and light microscopy imaging equipment and expertise to researchers at Warwick and beyond.

The equipment is intended to vitrify samples for cryo-TEM, supporting characterisation of challenging samples for structural biology.

The Advanced Bioimaging RTP serves users from multiple disciplines, including life sciences, chemistry, physics, and engineering, and requires ease of use and reliable performance.
