Arctis
Thermo Fisher Scientific
Overview
The Arctis is Thermo Fisher's next-generation cryo-FIB platform featuring automated cryo-lift-out capability for preparing site-specific lamellae from frozen biological samples.
What time on one costs
For cryo-FIB milling time, external academic users pay a median $57/hr ($39–75/hr, 2 facilities, an anchor rather than a range); internal users a median $52/hr (3 facilities), from facilities' own published rate sheets.
