Titan Krios™ by FEI is a state-of-the-art fully automated transmission electron microscope designed for rapid, stable, high-resolution data collection on frozen-hydrated samples.
- Electron source Schottky X-FEG using accelerated voltages of 80, 120 , 200 and 300 kV
- Falcon II and Quantum K2 Summit image detector )by Gatan) detectors operated through the EPU software for automated data collection.
- Robotic loading of up to 12 frozen, hydrated samples for increased throughput.
- Automated data collection mode enabling long unattended operation.
The instrument is set up to collect data for single particle electron cryo-microscopy (Cryo-EM). Data collection for electron cryo-tomography (ECT) is not possible at the moment.
Vitrobot by FEI enables highly automated and reproducible vitrification process for sample preparation.
The Vitrobot is only accessible by the Consortium members. University users should seek alternative locations to freeze their grids.
