Unlock Native Chemistry at the Nanoscale – Discover NanoSIMS Cryo

Wednesday, June 17, 2026

CAMECA is delighted to announce the launch of the NanoSIMS Cryo, an advanced accessory for the NanoSIMS-HR.

NanoSIMS Cryo extends the capabilities of the NanoSIMS-HR by enabling analysis of samples in their native frozen-hydrated state. By preserving structural and chemical integrity throughout cryogenic sample preparation and transfer, NanoSIMS Cryo enables elemental and isotopic imaging under conditions that closely reflect the original state of the specimen.

For life science applications, biological samples can be analyzed without the dilution and redistribution artefacts often associated with conventional resin-embedding workflows. For soft materials research, NanoSIMS Cryo preserves native morphology and composition, enabling the investigation of elemental and isotopic distributions while maintaining structural integrity.

Fully integrated into the cryogenic workflow — from sample preparation and transfer to NanoSIMS-HR analysis — NanoSIMS Cryo combines high spatial resolution, high mass resolution, and high sensitivity under cryogenic conditions. Scientists can investigate complex processes with greater confidence, extending the reach of nanoanalysis into previously inaccessible application domains.
 
Key improvements with NanoSIMS Cryo:
  • Preserve samples in their native states
  • True subcellular ion distribution & heterogeneity
  • Reveal previously invisible micrometer scale composition of soft materials 

Who can benefit from it?
  • Researchers in life sciences and soft matter materials
  • NanoSIMS users looking to expand their analysis capabilities
  • Scientists exploring cryogenic analytical techniques
  • Industrial R&D teams working with sensitive materials
