QUANTIFOIL®films are a specialised Holey Carbon film, approx. 10-12nm thick, with a regular pattern of holes and spaces. These are used where automation of imaging and data collection are required, e.g. Cryo-EM of single particles and structural biology applications. QUANTIFOIL® films’ defined circular holes tend to yield thinner, uniform layers of ice; improving sample distribution and reduced background Available in a range of patterns and grid types to suit user’s 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
