Call now open for Instruct-ERIC Research Sites

Call for applications for Instruct-ERIC Research Sites by organisations from Instruct Member countries is now open. Applications for a new Instruct Research Site may be submitted by an Instruct member. A Research Site may be one institution or organisation in an Instruct-ERIC member (excluding an existing Instruct Centre location), or a consortium of national institutions or organisations that collectively can provide training, outreach or networking activities of interest to Instruct.

Upgrade of the workflow for cryo-electron tomography and microscopy

The CIISB Cryo-electron microscopy core facility at CEITEC Masaryk University is expanding its services in the sample preparation for electron microscopy. The facility has recently acquired high-pressure freezer Leica EM ICE for vitrification of bulky biological specimen (up to 200 mm thickness). In addition, the freeze-substitution unit Leica EM AFS2 for resin embedding of the high-pressure frozen samples and the ultramicrotom Leica EM UC7 with the adapter for cryo-ultramicrotomy were purchased in order to provide the facility users with the complete workflow for preparation of thin section samples for both room-temperature electron microscopy and cryo-electron microscopy.
