Sample Processing for Electron Microscopy

Yes, the service requester can monitor the processing of their samples by prior agreement with the technician.

Sample delivery for processing must be previously scheduled by email to mzuzarte@uc.pt.

In electron microscopes, samples require prior preparation according to the type of sample to be observed.

The iLAB is prepared to carry out all the processing necessary for transmission electron microscopy (fixation, inclusion in resins, ultramicrotomy, negative staining, immunogold labelling, ...).

The scanning electron microscope, due to its technical specifications (variable pressure and cryo-stage), does not require sample processing.

All the material necessary for this processing is provided by iLAB and performed by a technician.

For more information, please contact the iLAB at ilab@fmed.uc.pt.
