QUANTIFOIL® Circular Holes
Description
QUANTIFOIL® Holey Carbon Film supports with circular holes are used in a wide range of applications from materials science to molecular biology and biomedical imaging. The circular holes allow improved sample distribution and reduced background scatter due to the formation of thin, even layers of vitrified ice that support the particles of interest. Users can select from a wide range of holes depending on their sample characteristics and imaging modality:
- Small holes for high-resolution SPA of protein complexes;
- Larger holes and less carbon to maximise open viewing area for tomography and materials science;
- More Carbon and fewer holes for on-grid cell growth.
A Mix Box of 30 grids in popular sizes (QUANTIFOIL® R 1.2/1.3, R 2/1, R 3.5/1, S 7/2, Multi A and continuous Carbon) on Copper 300 mesh base grids is available to help select the optimum foil.
