Quantifoil Micro Tools pioneered the commercialization of perforated support films with convenient predefined hole size, shape and arrangement for electron microscopy. Now, with more than 20 film geometries on a full range of TEM grid materials and designs, this diverse range of support foils provides high performance and flexibility whatever your cryo-EM research needs. The growing product portfolio encompasses UltrAuFoil® Holey Gold supports for high-throughput, high-resolution SPA, robust supports with larger open viewing areas for FIB-milling and tomography, and finder grids for CLEM and other integrative methods.
The surfactant Amphipol A8-35 stabilizes membrane proteins in a detergent-free aqueous solution and is a useful additive for sample preparation in Cryo-EM.
