cryoWrite at the 2025 PSDI in Basel
CryoWrite AG is pleased to announce its participation at the PSDI 2025 Conference in Basel , one of Europe’s leading gatherings for structural biologists and pharmaceutical scientists. As a Switzerland-based company committed to advancing cryo-EM sample preparation, we were excited to engage with the scientific community, share our latest developments, and contribute to the dialogue around innovation in structural analysis. In connection with our presence at PSDI 2025, we ext

CHF 1.55 million non-dilutive funding for cryoWrite AG
Innosuisse has approved CHF 1.55 million in non-dilutive funding to support cryoWrite’s development into a scalable, commercial product. We are very grateful for this support and look forward to executing the project efficiently. In the meantime, we will continue to supply a limited number of cryoWriters to select labs from our small-scale production facility. It is truly impressive to see the innovative methods researchers have already developed using the few units delivere

The CryoWriter Goes MS: Expanding Beyond EM
Our collaborators at the Biozentrum integrated single-cell lysis with mass spectrometry and reverse-phase protein arrays, enabling correlative single- and few-cell analyses that combine light microscopy with metabolomics and targeted proteomics. Close-up view of a cryo-EM grid preparation setup demonstrating the automated process. Originally, CryoWriter technology was developed for single-cell analysis via electron microscopy (single-cell visual proteomics), with its writing

Armin Ruf is at the ECM34 in Padova
Armin Ruf is at the ECM34 in Padova , the European Crystallographic Meeting. Moreover, on Thursday he will be presenting a poster about the latest developments of the cryoWriter . More precisely, he will be at poster 15 on the ground floor in the MS09 poster session. In addition, he is looking forward to discuss proteins, their structures, and their preparation for cryoEM. If you are at the conference, go and have a chat with him at the poster or during one of the breaks.

New application note on cold-writing
Today we published a new application note on cold-writing. Our cold-writing protocol improves reproducible grid preparation. With this protocol we routinely get over 100 squares with vitrified ice per grid. And even fragile samples like liposomes can be applied on the grid.

Gordon Research Conference on 3D EM with exciting program
The Gordon Research Conference on 3D EM (Three dimensional Electron Microscopy) 2024 takes place in Spain in June. This year, the GRC focuses on “bridging gaps between cell, structural and computational biology”. To this end, it has a special session on “specimen preparation challenges and solutions”. With this session, the conference addresses the existing bottleneck in sample preparation for cryo-EM. It is therefore our pleasure to announce that Andreas Engel will present h

New application scientist at cryoWrite
T After looking back on a successful business year 2023, we are now looking ahead again. We start the new year with expanding the team and hiring a new colleague. With Nadia Antoniadis , we recruited a new application scientist at cryoWrite to support our customers and the implementation of new modules on the cryoWriter. Nadia has a bachelor’s degree in Nanoscience and did her Masters and PhD in experimental physics. After having worked on quantum computing, she will be apply

Season’s greetings 2023
It is Christmas time: Instead of dispensing proteins on hydrophilized grids in a spiral form , we provided the cryoWriter with coordinates in a different pattern! We omitted the on-board glow discharger to keep a better confinement of the tree and used ink to better see it in the camera. We wish you all Merry Christmas and a good start in 2024.
