In order to use the Vitrobot, you must first do two things:
- Watch videos 7-19 in this link. Everyone should be using the Vitrobot exactly as Matthijn is in these videos.
- Take 1:1 training with Fei. Fei will give you some additional guidelines to using the Vitrobot that are specific to our setup.
Special note: Vitrobot tweezers are VERY expensive. If the tip of the tweezers gets bent, they become practically unusable. Please, please take the utmost care when using then. The only thing you should be using them for is gripping a grid. Never use them for prying or any other purpose. Furthermore, all the dewar components are also expensive. If you have any questions or concerns about using the Vitrobot please talk with Jennifer or Fei.
