Linkam showcases cryo capabilities at M&M 2023
Linkam unveils the CMS196 and CryoGenium Systems
23 Jul 2023Industry news
Linkam Scientific Instruments will be showcasing a range of temperature-controlled stages at the Microscopy and Microanalysis conference 2023 (M&M) on July 23–27. With a focus on its cryo-correlative portfolio, Linkam will present its cryo-correlative systems – the CMS196 and the CryoGenium plunger, host live tutorials on system operation and performance, and display a poster at the event.
The CMS196 is a cryo-correlative stage which can be used for the correlation of biochemical processes within cells. Providing high-resolution structural information from electron microscopy (EM) images, it can be interfaced with a variety of upright microscopes and is an integral part of a correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) workflow. The system also supports reduced sample contamination, improved sample handling, and enhanced stability for super-resolution cryo imaging.
The CryoGenium is one of the company’s newest developments in electron microscopy (EM) grid vitrification. The system aims to address problems faced by users using Cryo-EM, cryo-tomography, single particle tomography (SPT) and cryo-CLEM, as the novel design replaces the common blotting mechanism to improve process stability and repeatability. This is done through the system’s patented suction method, with optical monitoring to adjust the sample thickness in a controllable manner.
Linkam will be at booth #1420 in the Minneapolis Convention Center, and the CryoGenium tutorials will be taking place on the booth on July 24, 25 and 26 at 17:45 CDT.
