<div dir="ltr">It seems like humidity plays poorly with filter paper in the GP2 for most folks. We typically just leave our humidifier off when we are blotting cells. Is this a bad idea? We've been able to get some decent lamella from cells blotted with the chamber humidifier off, but I'm curious if folks have done any proper testing on this to verify if the cells survive, and if they are damaged, what the symptoms are. It would suck to find out that, while my filter paper has been doing great, all of my cells have been getting trashed. Curious if anyone has some real data on this.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Aug 9, 2024 at 12:00 PM <<a href="mailto:3dem-request@ncmir.ucsd.edu">3dem-request@ncmir.ucsd.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Send 3dem mailing list submissions to<br>

HI Liz,<br>
<br>
Is the chamber humidity too high (the filter papers get wet?).<br>

Stay safe & Regards<br>

Hi All<br>
<br>
We are seeing a lot of inconsistent blotting with our GP2 plunge freezer (The longer we blot, the thicker our grids are, among other odd behavior) - and we wanted to ask others' experience to see if we could pinpoint any cause or feedback we could provide Leica to enhance the performance.<br>
<br>
Please share your trade tips and secrets for wrangling the GP2 - We've had experience with several other GP2s and none of them shared this behavior. Our main samples are whole cells grown on grids.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
