Leica EM MM80 E

Metal mirror cryofixation system for impact freezing

Leica EM MM80 E

Overview

The Leica EM MM80 E Metal Mirror Cryofixation system consists of an LN2 cooled gold coated, highly pure copper block used for the impact freezing (slam freezing) of samples such as tissues and cell suspensions to form a vitreous ice layer (vitrification) for freeze substitution and subsequent Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). This instrument ensures high quality results with simple operation, low initial costs, and low operating expense. In standby mode it uses less than 1 liter LN2/hour. The heating cycle automatically switches off after use.
