Sample Preparation Solutions for Electron Microscopy That Work

 

SMART GridsTM simplify TEM sample preparation for reproducible and accurate nanoscale characterization. SMART GridsTM are smart because biological and nanomaterials are attracted to and self-assemble on the grid surface via an active interface. The functionalized ultrathin membranes are electron transparent and can be hydrophilic, hydrophobic, charged, or chemically active to provide the right substrate for all your EM needs. SMART Grids are now available with either SiO2 or low stress Si3N4 membranes for fast and reliable imaging and metrology of nanoparticles and other nano-sized materials. In addition, our C-SMART functionalized carbon TEM grids enable improved contrast and sample quality for low contrast samples such as biomolecules and for cryo TEM applications.
