Femtolitre Volume cryoEM Sample Preparation Using a Force‐Sensitive Microfluidic Cantilever

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Cryogenic electron microscopy enables structural imaging of biological molecules, but current methods lack targeted extraction of subcellular content for direct vitrification. This study introduces a force‐sensitive microfluidic cantilever pipette that aspirates and dispenses femtolitre volumes from individual cells onto electron microscopy grids.
