Plunge Cooler

Take control of your vitrification pipeline. The GraVitri™ Plunge Cooler Series is a modular platform engineered to streamline the cryo-EM sample preparation process. Developed in collaboration with Dr. Chris Russo (MRC Cambridge), the system utilises a high-speed, gravity-driven plunge mechanism to ensure rapid cooling and preserve the structural integrity of your samples for high-resolution imaging.

Whether your workflow involves single-particle analysis, cryo-ET, or Micro-ED, GraVitri provides the consistency needed to produce superior grids without the logistical bottlenecks and costs associated with shared facility equipment.

Why Integrate GraVitri™ into Your Lab?

• Total Workflow Ownership: Eliminate the constraints of shared equipment schedules. GraVitri is designed to be accessible, allowing individual labs to manage their entire preparation process from start to finish.
• Precision Engineering: Achieve terminal plunge speeds of 2 m/s through a repeatable gravity-driven system. The high-speed acceleration is paired with a vibration-dampened stopping mechanism to ensure high-quality vitrification without risking damage to delicate grids or tweezers.
• Scientifically Validated: Built on a foundation of peer-reviewed research, the GraVitri series is a proven solution in the world’s leading structural biology labs, supporting high-resolution SPA and complex in situ architecture studies.
• Modular Versatility: The system is designed to scale with your research. Options range from an economical, purely mechanical starter unit to advanced, fully customized systems featuring active temperature (4°C to 60°C) and humidity control.
