A Solution for Sensitive Materials – Cryo FIB
Cryo FIB uses a cold sample stage that can be controlled to -135°C making it it more suitable for temperature sensitive materials.
Home » Principles and Strengths of In Vitro Testing
In vitro is the Latin term for “in glass,” meaning that the testing is performed in a container that is outside of a living organism. This testing uses cell-based biological models instead of animals or humans. In vitro efforts help fulfil the FDA’s “3Rs approach” to replace, reduce, and/or refine animal testing.

In Vitro model systems can be specified to the test sample’s intended use. 2D cell cultures are grown rapidly for high-throughput or multi-sample analysis with minimized variation between treatments. Cell cultures can also be made into 3D tissue models. These models contain differentiated cell layers to physiologically represent complex tissues and evaluate specific endpoints. Using specific geometries, in vitro cell culture models can be used to evaluate simple and complex biological responses.
To assess different biological endpoints, various forms of analytical methods may be implemented. Measurable responses of the in vitro models include cell death, growth inhibition, genetic alterations, changes in surface marker expression and altered metabolism.

It’s cool to know that some of the analytical techniques available at EAG, such as SEM and XRD, are being used to analyze a sample from space! How awesome is that?
In this webinar we introduce Metal Based Additive Manufacturing Analysis to understand and evaluate many aspects of the metallurgy.
In this webinar we will focus on Nanoindentation which is a nano-mechanical test that provides the mechanical properties
