From targeting to tomograms: Streamlining cryo-ET workflows with automated cryo-FIB
In-Booth Presentation


Location: M&M Exhibit Hall, Booth #204
Time: 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Speaker: Christian Lamberz

Cryo-ET promises unprecedented insight into biology in its native cellular context, yet sample preparation and targeting remain key bottlenecks. Join us to discover how integrated fluorescence targeting, automated cryo-FIB milling, and streamlined cryo-ET workflows are helping researchers improve throughput, enhance reproducibility, and generate more tomograms with biologically relevant content. Learn how these advances are driving a deeper understanding of biological mechanisms at the nanoscale and empowering scientists to make more confident research decisions. Featuring a case study on enterovirus replication and practical guidance on selecting the right cryo-FIB for your research, this presentation will demonstrate how automated workflows can accelerate the path from biological questions to meaningful discoveries.


From alerts to action: Smarter cryo-EM support
In-Booth Presentation


Location:
M&M Exhibit Hall, Booth #204
Time:
 4:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Speaker: Arjen Monden

Direct alerting adds a proactive layer to established service support for cryo-electron microscopy applications by notifying you when action is needed to prevent sample loss, wasted time, or disrupted workflows. As cryo-EM workflows become increasingly automated, systems often run unattended for long periods, making timely awareness more critical. In this talk, we will show how targeted notifications help laboratories respond to important instrument or workflow events before they become costly problems. Academic research labs and pharma environments both benefit by protecting valuable samples, improving productivity, and supporting confidence in high-value cryo-EM experiments without replacing the reactive support customers still rely on.


Success through partnership: Connecting customers to outcomes
In-Booth Presentation


Location: M&M Exhibit Hall, Booth #204
Time: 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Speaker: Michelle Plue

What does a customer success manager (CSM) do, and how do they help you achieve success? This presentation highlights how CSMs serve as trusted advocates, leveraging Connected Care Portal insights, proactive maintenance planning, and productivity-focused reviews to improve instrument reliability, uptime, and operational outcomes. We will share real-world success stories demonstrating how CSM engagement drove measurable value through data-driven recommendations and proactive support. We’ll also discuss how a CSM successfully de-escalated a customer issue, building trust and strengthening the relationship.
