An open-source cryo-storage solution

The field of cryo-electron microscopy is a rapidly growing method in structural biology. With this development, access to cryo-EM facilities becomes a bottleneck that results in long wait times between sample preparation and data acquisition. To improve sample storage, we developed a cryo-storage system with a more efficient and larger storage capacity that enables cryo-sample storage in a highly organized manner. This system is simple to use, cost-effective and easily adaptable for any type of grid box and storage dewar and any size cryo-EM laboratory.
