EM GP2 Automatic Plunge Freezer
Vitrification rapidly cools samples, preserving their natural structure without crystallization. It is an essential step in structural biology applications such as Single Particle Analysis (SPA), cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), and MicroED. The Leica EM GP2 automated plunge freezer produces ultra-thin frozen sections for Cryo-EM. Its advanced design and high precision make it capable of producing consistent, high-quality sections for cryo-EM analysis. It is suitable for a wide range of sample types. With the user-friendly design, the Leica EM GP2 is an valuable tool for research that requires precise and efficient sample vitrification.
