Q1: What are the advantages of ANTcryo™ over Gold Film?
A1: Both ANTcryo™ and gold film are metal-supported films with superior electrical conductivity. However, ANTcryo™ employs a Nitinol film, an amorphous material that aligns more effectively with common electron microscopy axial techniques. Additionally, ANTcryo™ offers enhanced convenience over gold film in the adjustment of coma, facilitating more efficient and precise microscopy calibration.
Q2: Grayish-Black Patches on Filter Paper After Blotting with Vitrobot: Causes and Actions
A2: The grayish-black patches observed on the filter paper after blotting with a Vitrobot are typically due to the van der Waals force adhesion between the supporting film and the metal grid. It is normal for a small number of products to experience slight detachment of the film.
However, if more than 10% of the films in each box show detachment, please take a photo of the filter paper after blotting and contact the manufacturer’s after-sales service. The manufacturer will provide a one-to-one replacement for the affected film products.
