Leica-EM-PACT2 High-pressure freezer

High-pressure freezer that enables rapid vitrification of biological samples at high pressure, maintaining structural integrity for cryo-EM studies.

Instrument Parameters


  • Freezing System
    Utilizes rapid high-pressure freezing technology to vitrify samples without ice crystal formation, maintaining the ultrastructural fidelity crucial for high-resolution imaging.
  • Specimen Holder Compatibility
    Flexible system allowing for diverse specimen holders, accommodating cells, tissues, and small organisms, supporting a wide range of experimental needs.
  • Automation
    Streamlined automated processes for trimming and sectioning enhance reproducibility and reduce user intervention, allowing for consistent high-quality sample preparation.
  • Temperature Control System
    Capable of precise and rapid cooling to cryogenic temperatures, with robust stability and finely-tuned temperature adjustments to prevent thermal damage or devitrification, preserving sample integrity at every step.
