[3dem] Transport of frozen cryo-EM samples

[Caroline Jegerschöld]

Dear Johanna,

The company World Courier has shipped samples for us. Not cheap but reliably dlivering precious samples (EM-cryo grids) kept at the correct temperature. All through customs that in some countries means long waiting times before further transport.

All the best,
Caroline

Ämne: [3dem] Transport of frozen cryo-EM samples

Dear EM colleagues,

I wonder if anyone has experiences with transporting cryo-EM grids, so that the plunge freezing takes place at a different location from imaging? If you have done this to positive effect, can you please give me some information on the equipment that you used and how long you transported the samples (in time)? Tips and tricks? Is it even possible to FedEx?

Many thanks in advance,

Johanna
