In an article at BioRxiv, Necati Atalay et al. describes research involving high-resolution structural analysis of biomacromolecules from single crystals at the new X-ray diffraction facility at the University of Health Sciences, Istanbul. "The methods and practice described in the article can be applied to any biological sample for structural studies. Therefore, this article will be a valuable practical guide from sample preparation to data analysis."
Several of our MiTeGen tools were used in the research including our loops, pins and bases, Uni-pucks, shipping cane, and CX-100 dryshipper.

New Cryo-EM Grid Clipping Station | | |
|
|
The new Nanosoft Cryo-EM Grid Clipping Station provides unmatched ease of use and efficiency for the clipping of cryo-EM grids for Thermo Fisher autoloader-based microscopes.
This new clipping design makes the workflow easier, and a well-designed lid balances ease of use and protection. Furthermore, the Clipping Station is compatible with both NanoSoft and Thermo Fisher clipping tools.
