Tereza shares how switching to HexAuFoil grids gave her a 1Å resolution boost on a sub-100kDa membrane protein - while collecting less data and using fewer particles.

Learn how these grids simplify prep, improve reproducibility, and optimize Titan Krios setups.

Quantifoil and @sptlabtech.bsky.social Labtech are excited to be once again attending the CCP-EM Spring Symposium in Nottingham from 23-25th April 2025.

We hope to see some of you there - but don't forget you can attend virtually if you can't make it in person!

Catch them while you can!

Available to ship now: HexAuFoil ultrasmall holey gold #cryoem specimen supports for better images every time.

Final conference of the year and what a pleasure to spend it MRC LMB with BCA BSG Winter Meeting. Lovely day discussing #cryoem and #crystallography, and congratulations to Peter Harrison from eBIC for taking away the final grid race prize, with a fab 16 sec time!

Because after the close of the competition, along came Christelle AlJamous from the IGF in Montpellier
with a stunning 15 sec entry, missing the prize but gaining the bragging rights! Incredible #cryoEM
tweezer skills all round! (and one last pic of the beauty of Carry-le-Rouet).

We had a run off competition - from which Nejma Rabhi of the IECB in Bordeaux emerged triumphant, beating her own time with an amazing 18 sec run, and taking away the prize. But wait for the twist...
November 29, 2024 at 5:36 PM
And as the sun set on the final day we had FOUR possible winners tied on 19 secs each: Guillaume Bossan from IBPC, Julie Couston from IRIM in Montpelier, and Pierre Maisonneuve and Nejma Rabhi, both from IECB in Bordeaux! Astonishing scenes - less than 0.5 secs between them and so...

The grid-racing at
GDR_Appicom 5th Plenary meeting was epic! In this beautiful location, we had a lot of very talented and very competitive #cryoem scientists competing for the prize. Including Irene Dossou of I2BCParisSaclay pictured here!

A peaceful sunset at Carry-le-Rouet on the last night of the wonderful 5th APPICOM plenary meeting, but keep your 👀 peeled tomorrow for a thread because the peace is hiding absolute scenes at the #cryoem grid racing!

Looking forward hearing the latest membrane protein updates from the APPICOM 5th plenary meeting next week with @sptlabtech.bsky.social - and delighted to provide an update on HexAuFoil #cryoem grids!
November 21, 2024 at 6:25 PM
Fantastic to see all the new #cryoEM peeps popping up here! So we think it's a great moment to share details for our latest HexAuFoil webinar, with Bill Rice (NYU) and Chen Xu (UMass) discussing using the grids with #serialEM and #Leginon. Register here: attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/694...

Just posting an update from the #PSDI2024 #cryoem Fastest Tweezers competition - astonishing scenes with Martin Polak from Eyen winning a closely fought contest, just ahead of Kerstin Kanonenberg and Stacey Southall - see you for next year's competition!

Delighted that our wonderful development scientist, Johanna Zessin, was able to attend #PICO2024 celebrating 20 years of the Ernst Ruska Centre. The Kasteel Vaalsbroek is a stunning setting and we hope the other attendees found the conference as rewarding as us!

"The amount of real estate is crazy!" that's what Nicole Chiang from NanoImaging Services said when she saw the 9 million holes of thin, consistent ice on HexAuFoil #cryoem grids. How will you react? Try them today and find out: www.quantifoil.com/resources/he...

It's not #Caturday yet, but we wanted to share this image of the Quantifoil cat modelling the purr-fect hat from @sptlabtech.bsky.social with our #cryoem friends as soon as possible!

The scaffolding is down on our new #cryoem grid facility! But that's not all - there's lots more happening inside as we begin the countdown to move in down. Learn more at our new blog: www.quantifoil.com/news/new-bui...

Great week at the #cryoEM 🔬 conference with @sptlabtech.bsky.social ! Excited to see so many at our booth (even after hours!) and workshop. And is that EMBL getting in on the #HexAuFoil vibe?😉 If you're feeling the excitement as well, why not try them today: www.quantifoil.com/resources/he...

Excited to be presenting a workshop on advances in #cryoEM grid technology with Paul Thaw and SPTLabtech at the EMBL workshop on #cryoEM in academia and industry event, in Heidelberg, 29-31 Jan. Look forward to seeing some of your there!
