910 Multi-Specimen Single Tilt Cryo Transfer Holder

The 910 Multi-Specimen Cryo Transfer Holder is designed for low temperature screening and preliminary assessment of frozen hydrated specimens in the TEM.    

Key Features

Multiple specimen capability

• Specimen carrier holds up to 3 grids

High throughput screening of frozen hydrated specimens

• Minimizes the number of  transfers into the TEM while determining the best freezing conditions for the specimen

Frost-free specimen transfer

• Light weight cryo workstation provides low temperature specimen loading to protect the frozen hydrated grid
• A stationary one piece cryo shield protects the frozen hydrated grids providing protection against damage caused by warming and frost formation during transfer from the workstation to the electron microscope

Precise temperature measurement

• Temperature of the holder is monitored by a calibrated silicon diode which provides a sensitive, linear temperature response
• The conductor rod connecting the specimen holder tip to the liquid nitrogen dewar contains an electric heater to change the specimen temperature 

Splitring™ specimen securing mechanism

• Maintains excellent thermal contact between the specimen holder and the frozen hydrated specimen grid

Tilt ranges and compatibility of specimen holders vary according to the TEM manufacturer, model, pole piece gap, and the presence of in-gap accessories.  Please contact your local Gatan representative for more information.
