Dear list members,
we are about to purchase a "easiGlow” glow discharge system from PELCO for single-particle cryo-EM purposes and were wondering if anyone has experience with the supplied GD4 rotary vacuum pump, which is not oil-free. Are the concerns of oil leaking into the chamber true and is it worth purchasing an oil-free pump (e.g. Edwards XDS6i) instead? We would be very thankful about any experience you are willing to share.
Best wishes,
Lena
