Cryo-SEM Preparation Systems
Quorum Technologies: Specialists in Sample Preparation for Electron Microscopy
Quorum’s market-leading Cryo Sample SEM Preparation System is the latest in cryo-SEM technology and combines the highest quality results with unparalleled ease of use. The PP3010 is a highly automated, column-mounted, gas-cooled cryo-SEM preparation and cryo transfer system suitable for most makes and models of W-SEM, FE-SEM and FIB/SEM.
Cryo preparation techniques for cryo-SEM and FIB/SEM are essential for the observation of biological, wet or beam sensitive specimens. Using cryo sem electron microscopy removes the need for conventional preparation methods, such as chemical fixation and critical point drying, and allows observation of specimens in their natural hydrated state.
Quorum also offer the PP3005 SEMCool and PP3006 CoolLok as part cryo preparation systems for low temperature applications where the full specimen processing capabilities may not be required.
Walk through the Cryo-SEM Preparation System Laboratory from Quorum Technologies to assess what would best suit your application.
