*Mail-in Access to the Cryo-Electron Microscopy Service Platform at EMBL
Heidelberg for COVID-19 Research*
The Cryo-Electron Microscopy Service Platform at EMBL Heidelberg
provides mail-in access to its state-of-the-art cryo-EM equipment for
COVID-19-related projects (single-particle analysis and cryo-electron
tomography) using the latest technology and methods. The platform hosts
a FEI Titan Krios G3 equipped with a phase plate and a Quantum-K3 camera
and a 200 kV FEI Talos Arctica with an electron counting Falcon 3
camera. Both microscopes are equipped with an automatic sample loading
system and configured for automatic data acquisition.
Users can send in optimized frozen cryo-EM grids for high-resolution
data collection. Data collection will be carried out by EMBL experts in
close consultation with the users. In addition, we also offer freezing
and screening of grids for shipped-in purified samples depending on
capacity.
If you want to benefit from free access to the Cryo-Electron Microscopy
Service Platform at EMBL Heidelberg for COVID-19-related research,
please send a project description to cryo...@embl.de. Projects will be
evaluated with respect to scientific quality, feasibility and biological
safety. The project description should therefore include project goals,
description of the samples (i.e. cryo-EM images, class averages of
cryo-EM images, biophysical characterization) and biological safety of
the samples.
