CryoVR - Leica EM GP2 Plunge Freezer

CryoVR (http://www.purdue.edu/cryovr) is a suite of virtual reality training tools developed at Purdue University to familiarize users with cryoEM equipment, such as microscopes and sample preparation equipment, through a safe and accessible, virtual environment.

This module, TFS Vitrobot, covers the procedure of Plunge Freezing using Thermal Fisher Scientific’s Vitrobot Mark IV. The procedure complies with the standard operation procedure developed by a working group from NIH funded national CryoEM centers and curriculum development projects (https://www.cryoemcenters.org).

CryoVR is funded by NIH (National Institute of Health), award # 1R25EY029127. The project is developed by a collaborative team of Purdue Intelligent Visualization and Interaction Laboratory (https://va.tech.purdue.edu) and the Jiang Lab (https://jiang.bio.purdue.edu).
