<div class="ContentPasted0 ContentPasted1">We would like to estimate the number of Spotiton time-resolved cryoEM projects that require mixing of two samples from 100-500 ms. Spotiton is a unique, robotic grid preparation device able to dispense 2 samples independently
that mix for 100-500 ms on a plunging nanowire-coated grid prior to vitrification, potentially enabling the capture of short-lived, structural intermediates. Currently, all grids are prepared at room temperature. See
