OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Beauty and Benefits of cryo-EM; our new endeavors in vitrification of proteins and cells
We develop new methods for sample application and vitrification and implement them into a novel platform. The apparatus can be fed with pre-mounted autogrids, circumventing the need for postmounting. For single particle analysis (SPA), minute amount of samples can be applied directly onto a supported film. For cellular work, sample carriers with cells grown on them will be exposed to an airknife that removes excess medium. Sample evaporation will be minimized by a feedback loop that maintains the sample near its dewpoint calculated from the ambient temperature and humidity. Vitrification will be accomplished by jet-streaming liquid ethane onto the centre of the grid. I will be happy to share our latest results.
