Grid Storage Systems
The SubAngstrom Puck & Grid Storage System is the world’s most widely used cryo-EM puck and grid storage solution — engineered for secure, organized, and fully trackable cryogenic sample management.
Designed for use in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) laboratories, this integrated system combines precision-machined storage racks (canes), color-coded engraved pucks, and advanced RFID tracking hardware. Each system includes access to SubAngstrom’s free cloud-based inventory software for managing dewars, racks, pucks, and grid boxes. An offline/LAN version is available for facilities that require local data control.
