Description of equipment
High-pressure freezing system for rapid cryo-immobilization and vitrification of biological samples. It enables near-native preservation of cellular ultrastructure by preventing ice crystal formation and minimizing artifacts associated with chemical fixation. The system is suitable for sensitive biological specimens and advanced electron microscopy workflows requiring optimal structural preservation.
