About this event
The CryoSol Community welcomes you to share knowledge about sample preparation for cryo-EM and learn from each other. We believe this is vital to advance cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) research. Our Community is open to share publications, new insights and practical knowledge to innovate cryo-EM sample preparation.
February 23rd, 2022 we welcomed guest speaker Peter J. Peters PhD, University Professor and Limburg Chair at the Maastricht University.
In this webinar Peter J. Peters talks about the invention of the VitroJet: from idea to the scientific publication with the proof of concept. René Henderikx, Application Manager at CryoSol and co-author of the VitroJet scientific publication, speaks about the VitroJet technology as it is today, right from our new lab in Weert. He highlights various technology aspects of the workflow, clearly considering the practical challenges users are facing: from sample optimization, carriers, deposition techniques, to vitrification of samples for single particle analysis.
After registration you will receive a link to watch the webinar.
Abstract, scientific publication
VitroJet: Bridging the Gap in Sample Prep.
Over the past decade, in spite of the advances, cryo-EM remains challenging and expensive due to limited efficiency and reproducibility of sample preparation. The inconsistency in grid preparation has pushed for many developments in the recent years. The VitroJet introduced and combined several new concepts in order to provide control over grid preparation. Automation and control through innovative techniques have been key to VitroJet development and in standardization of grid preparation.
We would like to encourage you to share any questions you have after viewing this webinar, as well as your needs and suggestions for future directions to improve the cryo-EM sample preparation within the community together. Because two achieve more.
Enjoy this webinar!
