Electron Microscopy Sciences Igloo

Electron Microscopy Sciences Provides improved environmental control and ease of use with the vitrobot.
the igloo aims to better control the manual transfer process when preparing samples with the thermo fisher vitrobot. A more enclosed environment provides protection from contaminating ambient humidity, while various system features transform the manual transfer process into a user-friendly experience. The igloo is a nearly enclosed cover that sits atop the vitrobot dewar, with an opening large enough for comfortable grid button access and grid transfer. The volume enclosed by the igloo fills with cold gaseous nitrogen, creating a dry space with improved protection versus the ambient environment. The igloo is designed to fit comfortably over the floating styrofoam ring, minimizing the time that the styrofoam ring is exposed to ambient humidity and significantly reducing the potential for ice particulate contaminating the liquid nitrogen. - EMS
