Freeze Substitution Kit, Electron Microscopy Sciences

For dehydration and fixation of rapidly frozen cells.

• Excellent freeze substitution results in as little as 90 minutes
• Extend the time for larger samples to 3 hours by putting the lid on

Freeze Substitution is a process for low temperature dehydration and fixation of rapidly frozen cells that usually takes days to complete.

With this unique kit researchers are now able to achieve excellent freeze substitution results in as little as 90 minutes for cells of small volume such as bacteria and tissue culture cells. For those cells of greater volume or that have significant diffusion barriers such as cuticles or thick cell walls, one can extend the time to 3 hours simply by putting a lid on the box.

Kit features platform shaker, ice chest, heater block, temperature probe, cryo tubes, and data logger.
