Vitrobot

Luba working on vitrobotVitrobot is a commercial, fully automated vitrification device for plunge-freezing af aqueos (colloidal) suspensions.  Sample thinning and plunging are computer-controlled and in a controlled temperature and humidity environment, resulting in formation of reproducible vitrified specimens at a required thickness. The device is designed for non-viscous and viscous samples, and enables well-controlled relaxation experiments and time-dependent studies.
