Welcome!
ALERT ATTENTION ⚠️
In observance of a holiday, Agilent CrossLab/iLab Operations Software Support Help Desk will be closed during U.S. hours on Monday, September 1st, 2025. We will resume regular U.S. support hours on Tuesday, September 2nd, 2025. EU and APAC Support will remain open during this time. For urgent matters, please add "Urgent" to the ticket/email subject or press "1" when prompted to escalate a call on the iLab Support phone, and we will prioritize those requests first.
This Facility is built around the capabilities of our Thermo Fisher Titan Krios and Talos Arctica microscopes. Installed between Spring 2017 and Fall 2019, this revolutionary, cryo-based technology permits a full range of semi-automated applications, including 2D electron crystallography, single particle analysis, cryo-electron microscopy, and cellular tomography of frozen hydrated cell organelles and cells.
In 2025, the Hyra FIB-SEM is installed. This equipment has 4 ion beams that can provide faster lamella milling under cryo conditions. The addition of the IFLM fluorescence microscope enables the accurate targeting the cellular structures for lamella milling and slice viewing.
