About the Facility
Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) allows for collection of high resolution data from a range of samples including protein molecules, macromolecular complexes or cells.. In 2018 a grant of 30.8 mio DKK (4.7 mio USD) was allocated EMBION from the Ministry of Higher Education and Science - funded from 2015 call of the Danish Roadmap for Research Infrastrucutures. EMBION is a new cryo-EM consortium between Danish Universities (AU host and KU co-host). The National Cryo-EM Facility at AU (iNANO) started up medio 2019 using existing electron microscopes and facilities. Based on the grant a new high-end electron microscope was purchased: a Titan Krios 300 keV transmission electron microscope with a Bioquantum/K3 detector setup and a Micro-ED system. Installation of the new Titan Krios (Krios2) microscope finished in Q4 2020 and user access to the new microscope started Q1 2021. The official inauguration of EMBION was 12th October 2020.

Scopes
You cant innovate without the best scopes
With the embion portal you are able to track your data live from any location no matter what you process your data with. Applications for scope time also goes through the portal for an easy and collaborative workflow.
