Tenders Are Invited For Microscopes – Cryogenic Electron Microscopy System With 300 Kv Transmission Cryo-Electron Microscope And Cryogenic Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope

Microscopes – Cryogenic Electron Microscopy System With 300 Kv Transmission Cryo-Electron Microscope And Cryogenic Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope. The Institute Of Biotechnology Structural Biology Platform (Instruct-Hilfe) Will Be Upgrading Its Cryogenic Electron Microscopy (Cryo-Em) Services. The Current 200 Kv Transmission Electron Microscope Will Be Replaced With Equipment Offering Higher Resolution For Both Single-Particle And Tomography Analysis. To Enable This, We Will Establish An Integrated Workflow For Producing Samples For Tomography And Single-Particle Analysis. Specifically, We Will Acquire A 300 Kv Cryogenic Transmission Electron Microscope (Cryo-Tem) Suitable For High-Resolution Structural Biology, Together With A Software And Hardware Compatible Cryogenic Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope (Cryo-Fibsem) For Lamella Sample Preparation Required In High-Resolution Tomography. The Instruments Will Be Installed At The Institute Of Biotechnology, University Of Helsinki (Uh). Delivery And Installation Will Take Place In 2027.
