The new system complements JEOL’s existing Cryo-TEM technology and provides a comprehensive solution for preparing and imaging vitreous frozen biological and biopolymer samples to be observed in the <a href="/PRODUCTS/Transmission-Electron-Microscopes-TEM/200-kV/CRYO-ARM-200">CRYO ARM 200</a> and <a href="/PRODUCTS/Transmission-Electron-Microscopes-TEM/300-kV/CRYO-ARM-300-II">CRYO ARM 300II</a> Transmission Electron Microscopes. </p> <p>JEOL’s CRYO-FIB-SEM incorporates a liquid nitrogen cooling stage and a cryocooled specimen transfer mechanism for optimum specimen handling. The CRYO-FIB-SEM has a built-in sputter coating function, making it possible to perform conductivity coating, protective film forming, and FIB processing in a single system. </p> <p>Additionally, the workflow is based on JEOL's specially-designed CRYO ARM™ cartridge, allowing direct specimen transfer to the CRYO ARM™ after specimen preparation with the CRYO-FIB-SEM. A cryo-CLEM workflow using the CRYO ARM™ cartridge can be constructed using a cryostage manufactured by Linkam Scientific Instruments* and a fluorescence microscope manufactured by Nikon Solutions*. The stage coordinates of each instrument can be linked, so the orientation and position of the specimen can always be identified during specimen transfer between instruments.</p> <p>Using Cryo-EM, researchers can capture high resolution details of proteins and biological specimens. With the advent of the resolution revolution for Cryo-EM beginning around 2010, JEOL CRYO ARM TEMs continue to solve structures previously reserved for traditional X-Ray Crystallography. Imaging data achieved at rapid speeds can be used to create 3D reconstructions of viruses and proteins. Data can also be interpreted using Single Particle Analysis, <a href="/RESOURCES/Electron-Optics/Documents-Downloads/atomic-resolution-structures-of-biological-macromolecules-using-microed-on-jeol-tems">MicroED</a> using electron diffraction from 3D crystals, electron crystallography, and tomography. </p> <p>“Along with the CryoARM, the CryoFIB now closes the loop in the cryo-EM process to provide a solution that is completely JEOL. This will streamline the entire cryo-EM process, from sample preparation to data collection,” said JEOL TEM Product Manager Dr. Patrick Phillips. <br /> <a href="/PRODUCTS/Focused-Ion-Beam/CRYO-FIB-SEM">Learn more ></a></p> 435JEOL Electron Beam 3D Printer Demonstrates Ability to Meet AMS7032 Operational Qualification Standard: A Key Metric for the Aerospace Industryhttps://www.jeolusa.com/NEWS-EVENTS/Press-Releases/PostId/434/jeol-electron-beam-3d-printer-ams7032-operational-qualification-standard-aerospaceAdditive ManufacturingThu, 02 Nov 2023 20:44:06 GMT<p><strong>Peabody, MA | Nov. 2, 2023 –</strong> JEOL’s JAM-5200EBM Metal 3D Printer, a production ready Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion (EB-PBF) additive manufacturing solution, has demonstrated the ability to meet the rigorous AMS7032 operational qualification (OQ) standards, while achieving the AMS7011 material requirements for Ti-6Al-4V alloy with post-deposition hot isostatic pressing (HIP). JEOL’s is the first EB-PBF machine known to meet the requirements of AMS7011 since they were first established on another EB-PBF manufacturer’s model.</p> <p>The AMS7032 Operational Qualification Standard evaluates the ability of an AM powder bed fusion machine to consistently meet material specification requirements while maintaining process control and stability over several builds. To comply with the OQ procedures listed in AMS7032, three identical builds containing a large number of Ti-6Al-4V specimens in all three orientations and encompassing the entire JAM-5200EBM build envelope were made using reused powder that conformed to the AMS7015 specification. The specimens were then subjected to tensile testing, microstructure evaluation, chemical composition testing, radiography, and other tests to verify that they met the requirements of AMS7011. All required post processing and testing of the specimen was performed at a ISO17025 accredited laboratory.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="JEOL’s JAM-5200EBM Metal 3D Printer" src="/Portals/2/Press/JEOL%20AM%20beam%20-%20cathode%20300dpi.jpg?ver=iNw1dC80-DNsm1ZDYYOgCw%3d%3d" /></p> <p>The results of the testing not only demonstrated the high stability of the machine, but also revealed a key strength of this system: the JEOL JAM-5200EBM system produces material with excellent ductility and very low anisotropy. These results also indicate that designers should have significant freedom in how parts are oriented within the build envelope thus enabling greater DfAM flexibility and unlocking the potential for truly optimized designs.</p> <p>“JEOL has provided metrology, analytical, and electron beam manufacturing instruments for over seventy years and understands that manufacturers must have confidence in their tools,” shares Bob Pohorenec, President of JEOL USA. “Meeting the AMS7032 operational qualification standard ensures manufacturers that the JAM-5200EBM is capable of producing aerospace-grade material with stable performance and meets all material specification requirements. This achievement is a testament to our commitment to quality and reliability.”</p> <p>For businesses operating in the aerospace industry, our efforts greenlight a new alternative for 3D metal printing of parts essential in the manufacturing process.

Making the Right Choice for your aging NMR Instrument.https://www.jeolusa.com/NEWS-EVENTS/Press-Releases/PostId/431/upgrade-or-replace-making-the-right-choice-for-your-aging-nmr-instrumentNMRThu, 13 Jul 2023 12:48:45 GMT<p><strong>Peabody, MA –</strong> As many legacy NMR instruments are no longer eligible for service from major players that have exited the space, members of the scientific community are faced with a choice: Keep their magnet and upgrade their console to the latest software or buy an entirely new system.</p> <p>Upgrading an existing NMR console outfits the instrument with the latest technology and yields increase performance identical to that of a new system. Because the lifespan of a magnet far outlasts the console operating the instrument, this is a great way to save on costs and make full use of their magnet.</p> <p>\“Replacing the console on the older NMR system is an affordable option to get the most out of existing NMR setup since one will have an opportunity to use newer probes, sample changers and modern applications,” shares Dr. Timothy Bergeron. “This will expand the range of NMR methods one can use and it will improve sample-to-sample throughput.”</p> <p>Fortunately, JEOL is offering an NMR Console Upgrade Initiative, which offers discounted pricing for qualifying instruments. Those who are curious to learn if they qualify for the program can check out the <a href="/NMRupgrade">digital NMR Console Upgrade Guide</a>.</p> <p>JEOL, Ltd. began manufacturing and selling NMR instruments in 1959.

The two Transmission Electron Microscopes, the JEOL <a href="/PRODUCTS/Transmission-Electron-Microscopes-TEM/200-kV/CRYO-ARM-200">CRYO ARM 200</a> and <a href="/PRODUCTS/Transmission-Electron-Microscopes-TEM/300-kV/CRYO-ARM-300-II">CRYO ARM 300</a> are used in structural biology, and at Generate:Biomedicines they will be used to capture atomic resolution details of proteins that will help provide therapies in the fields of oncology, immunology, and infectious disease.</p> <p>JEOL has completed installation of the two CRYO ARMs at Generate:Biomedicines’ laboratory space in Andover, Massachusetts. The new facility expands beyond the company’s Somerville, Mass headquarters to specifically house their microscopy labs. Generate:Biomedicines unveiled the new CryoEM facility in June. JEOL will provide dedicated applications support and continue to work closely with Generate:Biomedicines scientists to integrate the advanced microscopes into their fast-paced research programs. JEOL, with USA headquarters nearby in Peabody, MA and corporate headquarters in Akishma, Japan, has been producing cutting edge electron microscopes for more than 70 years, advancing technology that has important ramifications in the life sciences as well as the materials sciences. </p> <p>Adam Root, Vice-President of Protein Sciences at Generate:Biomedicines, is excited about how the CRYO ARMs will be used to computationally design biotherapeutics. “We’ve built this facility to perform CryoEM at scale, adding structure determination to our ‘build-test-learn’ cycle and to continually advance our computational protein generation capabilities,” he says.  Their process allows them to rapidly visualize, at the atomic scale, the binding of computationally-designed drug candidates to any disease target, he explains. Instead of relying on a purely trial-and-error solution to disease, they will be able to leverage this structural data to propose entirely new therapeutic protein solutions with intent. </p> <p>“We will be pushing the CryoEM envelope,” adds Ed Brignole, Senior Director of CryoEM, “The two biggest evolutions in structural biology are the result of CryoEM technology and machine learning for predicting and designing protein structure. We are at the intersection putting the two together.” </p> <p>In keeping with the mission at Generate:Biomedicines, Ed adds, “We’ve studied millions of proteins and learned the general rules by which nature encodes function. From this knowledge we can generate novel medicines with specific therapeutic functions. We call this breakthrough Generative Biology. This is a fundamental shift in what’s possible in the field of therapeutic development, and we are incredibly excited as we realize the breadth of its potential.”</p> <p>CryoEM methodology has been successfully applied to study therapeutic targets such as viruses, membrane proteins, and components of the immune system. The ability to capture the structure of biomolecules with CryoEM is key in understanding how these protein systems function, or malfunction in the case of disease, as well as in identifying potential drug-binding targets for therapies. In the last decade, the field of structural biology was revolutionized with the advent of direct detector cameras and highly stable, automated cryogenic electron microscopes propelling CryoEM into becoming one of the most widely used tools in structural biology. The dramatic evolution of the method was celebrated in 2017 with the Nobel prize in Chemistry awarded to Richard Henderson, Jacques Dubochet and Joachim Frank for each of their contributions to the field.</p> <p>Generate:Biomedicines was founded by Flagship Pioneering after two years of foundational research in its Labs unit and launched in 2020. The proximity of Generate:Biomedicines’ CRYO ARMs and JEOL’s USA headquarters lends itself naturally to cooperation between JEOL USA scientists who have ready access to the high-end research microscopes to understand their application in the field and to optimize their abilities. </p> <p>“Generate:Biomedicines’ goal and strategy is an unparalleled undertaking in the field of medicine. JEOL USA is extremely proud to be part of the journey that Generate:Biomedicines will undertake to develop novel therapeutics that will greatly benefit mankind” says Jaap Brink, CryoEM Product Manager at JEOL USA.<br />  </p> 430JEOL to Install New Metal 3D Printer at Cumberland Additivehttps://www.jeolusa.com/NEWS-EVENTS/Press-Releases/PostId/428/jeol-to-install-new-metal-3d-printer-at-cumberland-additiveAdditive ManufacturingTue, 18 Apr 2023 18:23:53 GMT<p><em><strong>(Peabody, MA and Pittsburgh, PA)</strong></em> -- JEOL USA and Cumberland Additive, Inc.

These advanced AI technologies allow msFineAnalysis AI to provide a unique automatic structure analysis capability that was not previously available for GC-MS qualitative analysis.</p> <p>Currently available GC-MS databases contain mass spectra for less than one million chemical compounds, a tiny fraction of the possible chemical structures.  Prior to the development of JEOL’s new software, identification of compounds that do not have entries in the mass spectral databases required a skilled chemist with significant knowledge, experience, and time.</p> <p>In this AI-assisted workflow, deconvolution of GC-MS data into mass spectrum, library search, molecular ion search, accurate mass analysis, isotope pattern matching, and structural analysis can all happen within minutes.</p> <p>This newly developed automated structural analysis software incorporates two different structure analysis tools: an in-silico database consisting of AI-generated EI mass spectra for the 100 million structures in the PubChem database, and a support AI that predicts the presence and absence of common substructures.</p> <p>Applications scientist Dr. Chip Cody is particularly excited about what this software means for the scientific community as a whole, saying “Computer-aided determination of chemical structures from EI mass spectra and the reverse – prediction of EI mass spectra from chemical structures -- has been a goal since the 1960’s. This goal is finally achieved with JEOL’s development of msFineAnalysis AI.”</p> <p>msFineAnalysis AI is available exclusively on JEOL’s 6<sup>th</sup>-generation high resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometer (HRTOFMS), the AccuTOF GC-Alpha.

A leader in the mass spectrometry space for over 60 years, this 6th-generation high resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometer (HRTOFMS) features increased mass resolving power (R=30,000), improved mass accuracy (≤ 1ppm), and multiple soft ionization sources, making it a strong choice for labs analyzing petroleum, gas, oil, and shale.</p> <p>Furthermore, the GC-Alpha can be combined with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography for GCxGC-HRTOFMS which is a powerful method for characterizing complex mixtures such as base oils. The system includes Electron Ionization (EI) for database searches, but this technique often lacks a strong molecular ion signal.<br /> The GC-Alpha has optionally available Field Ionization (FI) and Field Desorption (FD) which are well suited for hydrocarbons analysis because they generate molecular ions for most compounds, including saturated hydrocarbons, with minimal fragmentation. The resulting mass spectra are dominated by molecular ions, whether from the GC output (FI) or from the emitter surface (FD).</p> <p>“Soft ionization is essential for the qualitative analysis of unknown compounds as EI does not always produce a molecular ion,” says Dr. John Dane, Mass Spectrometry Product Manager at JEOL USA.  “Using soft ionization like FI in combination with the GC-Alpha’s high-resolution capabilities allows the analyst to also determine the molecular ion information.  Our optional combination EI/FI/FD ion source allows you to get the best of both worlds, while not having to break vacuum to switch between techniques.”<br /> Structural elucidation of hydrocarbon classes in petroleum products are always in high demand.
