Leica EM IGL Automated Immunogold Labeling System

The first automated immunogold labeling system, the innovative Leica EM IGL, sets a new industry standard by automating the tedious, time-consuming manual process of immunogold labeling. The Leica EM IGL offers many advantages such as the simultaneous labeling of 24 grids as well as the ability to use up to 24 different primary antibodies in one run.

Automation with the EM IGL saves up to 80 % of the user's time, thus saves costs and frees technicians for more productive activities.

Specimen safety is ensured by applying the correct sequence of reagents and minimizing cross contamination from forceps and loops during labeling. Reproducible results can be achieved time after time as the EM IGL follows the exact incubation times specified in the protocol.
