Critical Point Drier

Autosamdri®-815B, Series A

Sample prep for biological samples is an integral part of achieving high-quality SEM images. Any sample can be placed in the chamber and imaged, but the quality of the sample prep determines the quality of the SEM micrograph. Critical point drying can be an essential step in the sample prep process for soft tissue and other samples. When a Critical Point Drier is needed, we suggest tousimis and their:
