Subject: [Ltkhkunta] Updated BCO EM-Core order form and fixation instructions

Dear BCO EM-Core users,

We have updated our specimen fixation instructions for tissue samples (Fixation_of_tissues_for_TEM_and_IEM<(http:/www.oulu.fi/sites/default/files/content/Fixation_of_tissues_for_TEM_and_IEM_2015.pdf)>), cultured cell samples (Fixation_of_cultured_cells_for_TEM_and_IEMhttp://www.oulu.fi/sites/default/files/content/Fixation_of_cultured_cells_for_TEM_and_IEM_2015.pdf) and isolated organelles (Fixation_of_isolated_organelles_for_TEM_and_IEMhttp://www.oulu.fi/sites/default/files/content/Fixation_of_isolated_organelles_for_TEM_and_IEM_2015.pdf) for TEM and IEM, and kindly ask you to read them before bringing any new samples. We will also add fixation instructions for scanning electron microscopy soon.

Furthermore, due to changes in invoicing system, we need to include reference for invoicing (project no.) for internal invoices. Please use the updated order form (EM-core_order_formhttp://www.oulu.fi/sites/default/files/content/EM-core_order_form_2015.pdf) and fill it carefully before bringing samples to EM lab.

Best regards,

EM-Core staff
