In order to solve the startup display problem of Vitrobot 3 (firstly found on December 06, 2024), an upgrade kit was installed by the engineer on February 20, and the machine resumed service after actual tests. Attached within please find the reminders and comparisons between the previous and the current versions of the operating interface. PDF
In addition, the CEM3 sample cassette gripper malfunctioned again on the afternoon of February 14, but the condition was determined as good after the inspection and the multiple tests conducted by the engineer on February 17, so the cause remains to be confirmed; meanwhile, the Y axis measurement module was replaced during February 17-19 to solve the instability when running CEM3 Altas function. CEM3 is currently providing service as usual. Thank you!

1. ASCEM has new web address https://cryoem.project.sinica.edu.tw
2. The calculation basis for the staff-operation charge will be raised to NT$600 per hour. The Vitrobot regulation is revised as below:
(1) Vitrobot (including training and practicing) charge rate is raised to NT$600 per unit (2 hours) for
academic users and NT$2,400 for industry users ; if staff-operation is needed, the new charge rate
is NT$1,200 per time.
(2) Non-AS user may operate Vitrobot after being trained and certified. The open hours are 09:00-16:00,
Monday through Friday, and 2 hours per unit. User may borrow a temporary access card from
ASCEM by a personal ID card to enter and exit the lab during the machine day.
(3) [3-Month Trial] Vitrobot user who book the session of 18:00-20:00 may borrow a temporary access
card from ASCEM during office hours by a personal ID card to enter and exit the lab after 18:00 if
necessary. User who operates instruments during off-hours is responsible for the maintenance of the
entire facility and environment, his or her lab will be held for reparation responsibility for facility damages
due to negligence of instructions.
3. 2023 ASCEM Service Satisfaction Survey results and follow-up have been posted on ASCEM website, you may check out the bottom of the “Access” webpage.

We would like to have your understanding for the two things below,
1. Recently, the facility water cooling system was found errors few times, so were the chillers of CEM3 and
CEM4 shortly experiencing failures one after another, and the overheating of the weather was reasonably
suspected as the main reason. Although the whole cooling system was repaired soon, in response to the
breakdown, we still had to urgently re-schedule some users’ machine time then, and thank you very much
for your cooperation and flexibility about the unexpected events. To try to decrease the errors happening
again in the future, the environment improvement for the outer water cooling system will also be carried out
by the manufacturer in the near future.
2. Please be reminded that all users have to follow the facility service regulations, especially the new
members from labs are highly recommended to directly contact facility staff for any big or tiny concerns
because improper operation of machines could cause a forced interruption of service and further affect
other users’ right to use.

According to the facility cost analysis formula of Division of Instrument Service of Academia Sinica (AS), the cost per day is respectively NTD100,000 and NTD140,000 for CEM3 and CEM4. To promote the research and the application of cryoEM, ASCEM has been giving CEM3/4 academia users 90% discount of service charges since operation started under the significant financial subsidization from AS and Taiwan Protein Project (TPP). However, in response to the new policy of AS and the budget reduction of TPP since 2020, ASCEM has to adjust service rate of CEM3/4. While the payment using AS budgets remains the 90% discount of service charges as before, using non-AS budgets is adjusted to 65% off. Meanwhile, considering that the off-AS researchers usually are funded by non-AS budgets only and may lack of cryoEM professional manpower in time or have limited budgets and so on, TPP has developed a cryoEM platform with a professional research team for supporting those in need to apply and take advantage of the resource. |
