CT3500TR Single Tilt Rotation Liquid Nitrogen Cryo Transfer Holder

The CT3500TR Single Tilt Rotation Liquid Nitrogen Cryo Transfer Holder is designed for low temperature transfer and subsequent recording of electron beam sensitive, frozen hydrated specimens in the TEM.

Key Features

Frost-free specimen transfer

• Two piece cryo shield encapsulates the frozen hydrated grid providing protection against damage caused by warming and frost formation during transfer to the electron microscope

• Light weight cryo workstation provides low temperature specimen loading and protection prior to transfer of the specimen holder and frozen hydrated grid into the electron microscope TEM

Specimen rotation

• Motorized +/- 110º rotation allows reorientation of the cryo specimen to facilitate dual axis data collection

High resolution performance

• Stable specimen temperature minimizes thermal drift to ensure high resolution performance

Specimen securing mechanism

• Clamping ring screws into the specimen cradle to maintain excellent thermal contact between the specimen holder and the specimen grid

System package

• Includes temperature controller, digital rotation controller, protective sleeve with pump-out fitting, pump-out tool, cryo work station, clamping rings and clamping ring tools

Robust design

• For intermediate to expert cryo electron microscopist

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.
