Cryo Transfer Holder

Built for High-Resolution Cryo-EM, Tomography, and MicroED

Single particle, tomography, and MicroED

The Simple Origin cryo holders can be loaded with two TEM grids, either standard grids or autoloader grids, for ultra stable cryo imaging.

They provide over ten hours of liquid nitrogen holding time, strong cryo protection during transfer, and a low tip profile for high-resolution work.

Holder accessories include a workstation with built-in LED and heater, plus separate units for tip temperature readout and activated carbon regeneration.

Grid clamping is optimized for ease of use under liquid nitrogen conditions. The axis-symmetric dewar design helps maintain a stable center of mass during tomography data collection.

  • Holds two grids (standard or autoloader)
  • Over 10 hours liquid nitrogen holding time
  • Optimized stability for tomography
  • Optional variable-temperature configuration for controlled cryogenic ramps
Optional Add-On: Variable-Temperature Module

The Cryo Transfer Holder can be configured with an optional variable-temperature module for experiments that require controlled cryogenic temperature ramps. The add-on uses a temperature sensor and integrated heater near the specimen to support precise measurement and regulation during imaging. Ability to heat and image the specimen between -175 °C to -100 °C.
