CT3500 Single Tilt Liquid Nitrogen Cryo Transfer Holder

The CT3500 Single Tilt 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 TEM

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

Optional beryllium specimen insert and Hexring®

• For EDX analysis

System package

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

Robust design

• For intermediate and 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.
