Using Linkam’s CMS196 for correlative 3D cryo X-ray imaging to reveal the intracellular location and effect of designed antifibrotic protein–nanomaterial hybrids

Groen et al. explored how a novel 3D cryo-correlative light and X-ray tomography (CLXT) imaging approach could be used to investigate a promising antifibrotic treatment for myocardial fibrosis, using Linkam’s CMS196 to pre-screen vitrified grids.

Precise targeting for 3D cryo-correlative light and electron microscopy volume imaging of tissues using a FinderTOP

Using a Linkam CMS196 stage Beer et al. demonstrated an innovative, targeted cryoCLEM workflow for tissues, in which cryogenic confocal fluorescence imaging of millimetre-scale volumes is correlated to 3D cryogenic electron imaging directed by a patterned surface generated during high-pressure freezing (HPF).

Intrinsic mechanical behavior of femoral cortical bone in young, osteoporotic and bisphosphonate-treated individuals in low- and high energy fracture conditions using a Linkam tensile stage

Researchers used a Linkam tensile stage to investigate the intrinsic mechanical behaviour of femoral cortical bone in young, osteoporotic and bisphosphonate-treated individuals in low - and high energy fracture conditions.

Adaptive 3D cryogenic correlative light imaging of native biology using Linkam’s CMS196 cryo-correlative stage.

Cryogenic light microscopy is a key mapping step in the correlative imaging workflow. Researchers adapted a standard upright widefield microscope into a cryogenic 3D laser-free confocal system using Linkam’s CMS196, to demonstrate the necessary sample preparation steps followed by confocal imaging of biological cells and tissues.

Using Linkam’s FDCS196 to Investigate How Small Molecule Ice Recrystallisation Inhibitors Enable Freezing of Human Red Blood Cells with Reduced Glycerol Concentrations

Researchers at the University of Ottowa, Canada used Linkam’s Freeze Drying system, the FDCS196 to cryopreserve red blood cells with slow cooling rates prior to storage at -80°C.
