CryoEM Protein Sample Preparation: Spotiton Instrument

In close collaboration with NYSBC/NRAMM we have developed new instrumentation and techniques that allow multiple protein samples to be vitrified onto a single grid for cyroEM analysis. The instrument platform is called Spotiton. The following publications describe the Spotiton instrument and process:
