Leica EM GP2

The Leica EM GP2 is a fully computer-controlled single-sided Bloating Vitirifcation Robot. Bloating on the EM GP2 can be performed using sensor bloating or manual blotting using the onboard eyepiece. This instrument allows the user to perform multiple bloating operations, including back and front bloat. The possibility of back bloating makes the EM GP2 a perfect tool for the vitrification of cells and microcrystals. In contrast with the Vitrobot, the EM GP2 is capable of controlling the temperature of the liquid ethane and providing a continuum flow of liquid nitrogen in the sample vitrification area, considerably reducing ice contamination. The instrument is highly reproducible and excellent for the three main CryoEM workflows, including single-particle CryoEM, CryoET, and MicroED.
