QUANTIFOIL Active grids are unique in being the first commercially produced grids with copper nano-wire covered bars to promote thin film formation through a process of “self-wicking”. This novel grid technology removes the variability of applying an externally applied filter paper to remove excess sample during blotting.

Improve every image with these revolutionary new small hole, holey-gold supports that enable zero-dose reconstructions for the first time by delivering movement-free imaging. Our most advanced cryo-EM support to maximise efficiency for high-resolution structure determination in drug discovery and basic research. The first pre-production batches are now available to order.

Developed in collaboration with leading scientists, UltrAuFoil Holey Gold sample supports simplify structure determination even for challenging and small molecules. During imaging at cryogenic temperatures, traditional carbon supports move, particularly at the beginning of irradiation. This movement blurs images and reduces data quality. UltrAuFoil Holey Gold supports are more conductive, with no differential contraction between the grid and the foil on plunge freezing. This technical improvement minimizes any crinkling of the foil during sample preparation, substantially increasing data quality and efficiency.

Extensively functionalizable, our silicon dioxide films offer a glass-like surface ideal for cell-growth. They are resilient enough to withstand the additional manual handling involved with on-grid cell growth, tomography, CLEM and cryo‑FIB.

QUANTIFOIL Holey Carbon supports are a flat film of carbon, 10-12 nm thick, on a cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) grid, providing a low-background sample support for high-resolution cryo-EM data collection. Researchers can choose the optimum grid for any project from a comprehensive selection of hole shapes, sizes and spacings in combination with a range of base grid materials and mesh sizes. Grid options include standard square meshes as well as other arrangements and finder grid formats.

An ultrathin (2-3 nm) carbon layer further enhances particle distribution and data quality when applied to both QUANTIFOIL Holey Carbon Films and UltrAuFoil Gold Supports.

Particle density is improved due to the ready adsorption of many biomolecules onto the carbon surface prior to blotting. This additional layer may also reduce the adoption of a preferred orientation. Researchers also benefit from improved particle distribution as particles can adsorb onto the carbon across the entire hole.

Most QUANTIFOIL Holey Carbon Film supports can be supplied with an additional carbon layer on request.
