The mPrep System™ streamlines Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Serial Block Face EM (SBEM) sample preparation. mPrep System benefits include:
- Simultaneous reagent processing
- Controlled and reduced reagent consumption
- Increased reproducibility
- Reduced errors and accidents due to limited sample touches
- Easily traceable samples and grids
For Serial Block Face (SBEM) 3D EM specimens, the mPrep ASP-1000 provides substantial benefits. SBEM and other 3DEM methods (FIB-SEM, Array Tomography SEM) can require nearly a week of manual reagent processing with toxic, noxious and reactive reagents. With the ASP-1000, additional benefits include:
- Automated walk-away specimen preparation
- Automated consistency and quality
- Specimen preparation in a day, instead of up to a week
- Greatly reduced handling of noxious reagents.
