  • Method and device for ultra-rapid cryo-fixation of a sample for microscopic studies
    Patent number: 12644806
    Abstract: The present invention relates to method for decreasing temperature of a sample, in particular a method for ultra-rapid cryofixation of a sample for time and spatially resolved microscopic measurements as well as a device for ultra-rapid cryofixation of a sample at any particular time point of interest on a microscope. Said method and device are particularly useful for studying native molecular organization as well as (bio)chemical reactions within living cells with spatial and spectroscopic resolution beyond the fundamental limits caused by molecular motion at positive Celsius temperatures.
