Do you want to carry out analysis of materials using cryo-electron microscopy?
What is cryo-electron microscopy?
La cryo-microscopie électronique (cryo-ME) est une technique de pointe permettant l’observation et l’analyse d’échantillons à l’échelle nanométrique, tout en conservant leur structure à l’état natif. Grâce à la congélation rapide des échantillons, cette méthode évite les dégradations liées à la préparation traditionnelle offrant ainsi des résultats précis et fiables.
What are cryo-TEM and cryo-SEM?
Cryo-TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy): This technique enables in-depth analysis of the internal structures of samples. Thanks to the transmission of electrons through ultra-thin sections of frozen samples, cryo-TEM offers exceptional resolution, ideal for studying structural details at the atomic level, such as proteins, biomolecular complexes or nanomaterials.
Cryo-SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy): Geared towards the observation of surfaces, cryo-SEM makes it possible to study frozen samples in their native state, without desiccation. This technique is particularly useful for analysing fine topographies, complex interfaces and surface interactions.
Why choose cryo-electron microscopy for your analysis?
Cryo-electron microscopy is an ideal solution for demanding industries such as :
- Pharmaceuticals and biotechnology: study of proteins, viral structures and biomolecular interactions.
- Advanced materials: analysis of nanostructures and complex interfaces.
- Medical devices: characterization of surfaces on a submicron scale.
