In recent years, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) single-particle analysis (SPA) has greatly benefited from a multitude of technological advances that have made it possible to image biological macromolecules at atomic resolution. Thanks to high throughput, high-resolution screening and data collection technologies, cryo-EM has delivered structural insights that are driving rational design of new vaccines and therapeutics. Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) has been similarly important, enabling visualization of organelles and cellular structures in their near-native state within the cellular context at molecular resolution. Both techniques are indispensable tools for both structural and cell biology.
In this webinar, we will present four innovative Thermo Scientific solutions that help improve the efficiency and performance of cryo-EM workflows and enhance connectivity between cryo-FIB and cryo-TEM:
Thermo Scientific Arctis Cryo-Plasma-FIB: high-throughput lamella preparation
Thermo Scientific Vacuum Capsule: optimized transfer of lamellae to the cryo-TEM without contamination
Thermo Scientific Krios 5 Cryo-TEM: quick, accurate, and efficient data collection
Thermo Scientific CryoTomo Software Suite: workflow automation, predictive tracking, rapid quality assessment, web platform, and more
Join us to learn how these cutting-edge technologies can improve the efficiency and performance of your cryo-EM workflows and see new application examples that demonstrate their capabilities.
