SPS is moving large electron microscope at the’ Core Facility For Integrated Microscopy’ at the University of Copenhagen
The Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) – A 200 kV FEI Tecnai G20 TWIN – is used by scientists like biologists and pharmacologists for analysis of proteins, viruses and liposomes, etc. The microscope features an integrated cryo connection and robot technology in order for samples to be analyzed in frozen condition.
Klaus Qvortrup explains about the relocation assignment: “An electron microscope like this is extremely sensitive to vibrations and must always be in horizontal position. It may sound simple, but complying with these requirements during a complicated and heavy move is not something you just do. And it would be a disaster for us if the equipment was damaged. I have previously used SPS to move similar equipment so it was natural to contact SPS to solve the task. ”
“Together with SPS, we carefully examined the requirements that were critical to the equipment and then made a plan which SPS faithfully carried out , “says Klaus Qvortrup.
“I am extremely pleased – this time too – how SPS solved the task and with the collaboration with their skilled employees. I highly recommend SPS for this type of complex task,” says Klaus Qvortrup.
About Core Facility For Integrated Microscopy (CFIM):
As the name suggests, the department is specialized in electron microscopy and places its many electron microscopes at the disposal of researchers and students at other institutes at the University of Copenhagen and is thus a joint department.
