Before ...Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy has become a widely adopted method in structural biology due to many recent technological advances in microscopes, detectors and image processing. Before being able to inspect a biological sample in an electron microscope, it needs to be deposited in a thin layer on a grid and rapidly frozen. The VitroJet was designed with this aim, as well as avoiding the delicate manual handling and transfer steps that occur during the conventional grid-preparation process. Since its creation, numerous technical developments have resulted in a device that is now widely utilized in multiple laboratories worldwide. It features plasma treatment, low-volume sample deposition through pin printing, optical ice-thickness measurement and cryofixation of pre-clipped Autogrids through jet vitrification. This paper presents recent technical improvements to the VitroJet and the benefits that it brings to the cryo-EM workflow. A wide variety of applications are shown: membrane proteins, nucleosomes, fatty-acid synthase, Tobacco mosaic virus, lipid nanoparticles, tick-borne encephalitis viruses and bacteriophages. These case studies illustrate the advancement of the VitroJet into an instrument that enables accurate control and reproducibility, demonstrating its suitability for time-efficient cryo-EM structure determination.

TMV was pin printed at 4 degC chamber temperature with a 70 micrometer spiral, 15 micrometer standoff with a velocity of 5 mm per second. The value given for _em_vitrification.instrument is CRYOSOL VITROJET. This is not in a list of allowed values {'HOMEMADE PLUNGER', 'FEI VITROBOT MARK III', 'FEI VITROBOT MARK II', 'FEI VITROBOT MARK I', 'GATAN CRYOPLUNGE 3', 'LEICA PLUNGER', 'LEICA EM GP', 'REICHERT-JUNG PLUNGER', 'LEICA EM CPC', 'OTHER', 'FEI VITROBOT MARK IV', 'SPOTITON', 'EMS-002 RAPID IMMERSION FREEZER', 'LEICA KF80'} so OTHER is written into the XML file.
