Cryo-transfer holders are used in applications that require low-temperature transfer and observation of frozen-hydrated specimens for cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM).
- Cryo-workstation provides a protected environment for loading specimens into the holder
- Cryo-shield encapsulates frozen-hydrated specimen to protect it from contamination during atmospheric transfers from the cryo-workstation to the transmission electron microscope (TEM)
