Introducing the mPrep System
The mPrep™ System uses mPrep capsules to prepare specimens and grids for electron microscopy and other applications.
Use mPrep capsules with the programmable mPrep ASP-1000 Auto Specimen Processor for “hands-off” preparation of specimens and grids with any protocol.
mPrep capsules connect to lab pipettors just like pipette tips for convenient processing in any lab.
Solves common problems
- System efficiency reduces tedium
- Orient specimens in seconds
- Protect samples from damage and contamination
- Minimize human touches
- Capsules labeled for easy tracking
Expands lab capabilities
- Automated “walk away” sample prep
- Rapid tissue processing
- Automated immuno-gold labeling
- Controlled reagent delivery
- Reproducible results
Adapts to unique challenges
- A core lab uses the ASP-1000 for automated overnight immunogold grid labeling
- An infectious diseases lab easily prepares pathogenic viruses for TEM in BSL3/4 biocontainment
- A researcher simultaneously tested 16 different TEM sample preparation protocols using mPrep/s capsules
The mPrep System is the right choice
mPrep/s capsules
mPrep/s capsules entrap specimens for transmission and scanning electron microscopy and other sample preparation. Capsules hold specimens throughout fixation, embedding, and sectioning.
The mPrep Workstation orients specimens in mPrep/s capsules and streamlines workflow from dissection to reagent processing.
Encapsulated specimens are protected from loss, misidentification and damage. Quality reproducible results are achieved with a fraction of the effort.
mPrep/g capsules
mPrep/g capsules hold TEM grids throughout staining, immuno-labeling and storage. Grids are protected from loss, misidentification, 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.
