Cryo Preparation Systems

Sapphire version of the FinderTOP platelets. Imprinting a FinderTOP pattern into the sample surface during high-pressure freezing enables precise alignment for cryoFIB/SEM imaging and cryoFIB lift-out for cryoTEM. The transparent sapphire HPF carriers are particularly useful for correlating LM/EM images (cryoCLEM).

• Ø3 x 0.16mm height
• Grid with clearly marked squares with side length 0.2mm (A-L / 1-12)

Achieve accurate correlation by imprinting a FinderTOP pattern in the sample surface during high pressure freezing (cryoCLEM). The pattern with unique marked squares allows precise targeting for cryoFIB/SEM volume imaging and cryoFIB lift out for cryoTEM.

• Ø3mm x 0,50mm thick
• 0,3mm cavity on one side
• Grid with unique marked squares with side length 0,2mm (columns labeled A-L / rows labeled 1-12)

ACLAR® UltRx is a PCTFE homopolymer film. It is successfully used to grow cells, perform high-pressure-freezing (HPF) and as barrier film for embedding. It is sterilizable by heat or radiation.

ACLAR® offers an outstanding moisture barrier, excellent chemical resistance, thermal stability and low dimensional change (<6%). It is crystal clear, biochemically inert, plasticizer and stabilizer free.
