Reduce ice contamination during cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and cryogenic electron tomography (cryo-ET) experiments.
Three Components to reduce ice contamination
Clean Station
A purpose-built glovebox for CryoET. Prepare your samples in a low humidity environment without a dry room.
Vitri lock
Transfer samples under vitreous temperatures and high vacuum. This eliminates a major source of crystalline ice contamination during transfer.
Cryo Shutter
Reduce amorphous ice growth within the FIB-SEM bynearly 100%. Users can mill more lamella in one batch.

Results
Many users suffer setbacks in their cryo-EM workflow due to ice contamination and limitations with sample prep. The Ceres Ice Defense System enables better data, every time.
Compatibility
The Ceres is designed to work with your existing Cryo FIB-SEM setup and can be installed on microscopes from Thermo Fisher, FEI, Zeiss, JEOL, and others. The Ceres is also compatible with Aquilos 1, Aquilos 2, Leica, and Quorum cryo workflows.
