Before being able to inspect a biological samplein an electron microscope, it needs to be deposited in a thin layer on a grid andrapidly frozen. The VitroJet was designed with this aim, as well as avoiding thedelicate manual handling and transfer steps that occur during the conventionalgrid-preparation process. Since its creation, numerous technical developmentshave resulted in a device that is now widely utilized in multiple laboratoriesworldwide. It features plasma treatment, low-volume sample deposition throughpin printing, optical ice-thickness measurement and cryofixation of pre-clippedAutogrids through jet vitrification. This paper presents recent technicalimprovements to the VitroJet and the benefits that it brings to the cryo-EMworkflow. A wide variety of applications are shown: membrane proteins,nucleosomes, fatty-acid synthase, Tobacco mosaic virus, lipid nanoparticles, tickborneencephalitis viruses and bacteriophages. These case studies illustrate theadvancement of the VitroJet into an instrument that enables accurate controland reproducibility, demonstrating its suitability for time-efficient cryo-EMstructure determination. 001024123 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5352$$a5352 - Understanding the Functionality of Soft Matter and Biomolecular Systems (POF4-535)$$cPOF4-535$$fPOF IV$$x0 001024123 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5241$$a5241 - Molecular Information Processing in Cellular Systems (POF4-524)$$cPOF4-524$$fPOF IV$$x1 001024123 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, Journals: juser.fz-juelich.de 001024123 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)179550$$aMann, Daniel$$b1 001024123 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aDomanska, Aušra$$b2 001024123 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aDong, Jing$$b3 001024123 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)194807$$aShahzad, Saba$$b4$$ufzj 001024123 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aLak, Behnam$$b5 001024123 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)184560$$aFilopoulou, Aikaterini$$b6$$ufzj 001024123 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aLudig, Damian$$b7 001024123 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aGrininger, Martin$$b8 001024123 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aMomoh, Jeffrey$$b9 001024123 7001_ $$aLaanto, Elina$$b10 001024123 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aOksanen, Hanna M.$$b11 001024123 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBisikalo, Kyrylo$$b12 001024123 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aWilliams, Pamela A.$$b13 001024123 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aButcher, Sarah J.$$b14 001024123 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131901$$aPeters, Peter J.$$b15 001024123 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBeulen, Bart W.
