A single grid with a range of hole geometries is useful when carrying out cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) or where the sample size may vary unpredictably (for example liposomes).The predefined pattern of hole sizes and shapes in QUANTIFOIL® Multi A offers this possibility while still enabling automated data collection, in contrast to the random arrangements of traditional holey or lacey supports.
Features include:
- Oval holes which appear round in tomographic sections with high tilt angles (~70°).
- Circular holes have diameters of 1 µm, 1.4 µm, and 2 µm.
- Elliptical holes measure 1 µm x 4 µm and 2 µm x 8 µm.

We can offer Multi A on finder grids and alternative meshes to maximise their utility for tomography and integrated methods applications.
