mPrep™ ASP™ Automated Biological Specimen Preparation for EM Workflows
The programmable ASP-1000 and ASP-2000 Automated Specimen Processors provide “walk-away” preparation of specimens and grids for greater lab efficiency and productivity of electron microscopy workflows. Specimens are prepared in a fraction of the time, with any protocol, using mPrep specimen and grid capsules.
mPrep specimen and grid capsules also connect to hand-held lab pipettors for convenient processing in any lab.
Expands lab capabilities
- Automated “walk away” rapid tissue processing
- Automated immuno-gold labeling
- Adaptable and flexible
- Reproducible results
Solves common problems
- System efficiency reduces tedium
- Orient specimens in seconds
- Protect samples from damage and contamination
- Minimize human touches
Adapts to unique challenges
- Prepare volume EM (serial block face SEM, FIB-SEM) specimens in a day, instead of a week
- Automatic overnight on-grid and pre-embedding immunogold labeling
- Consistently prepare pathogenic viruses in BSL3/4 biocontainment

mPrep/s capsules
mPrep/s capsules entrap specimens for TEM, SEM, vEM, and other applications. Capsules hold specimens through fixation, en bloc staining, embedding, and even sectioning.
mPrep Workstation orients specimens in mPrep/s capsules – streamlines workflow from dissection to reagent processing.
Encapsulated specimens are protected from loss, misidentification and damage.
mPrep/g capsules
mPrep/g capsules hold TEM grids for immuno-labeling, on-grid processing, and storage. Protects grids from misidentification, loss, and damage.
Grids may require handling only twice: when inserted into capsules and when placed in the TEM. Grid-Tite™ slots keep grids safe even if an open capsule is dropped.
Reagent consumption is as little as 20 μl per grid. You may never lose or damage a grid again.
