Quantifoil® Grids
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.
Quantifoil® grids are at the core of our Cryo-EM portfolio and provide a well-established platform for reliable specimen preparation in electron microscopy. With a broad selection of predefined hole sizes, hole patterns, support films, mesh materials, and grid formats, Quantifoil® offers the flexibility needed for single particle analysis, tomography, FIB-milling, CLEM, and other demanding Cryo-EM workflows.
