We typically have the same experience: Quantifoils are always on backorder, often for many months. We buy whichever type we can lay our hands on: gold, nickel, copper, R 2/1, R2/2… Then occasionally they arrive quickly. I assume it is a production issue.

We have been waiting on an order for over 6 months, and now they tell us that Quantifoils are on indefinite backorder. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a global Quantifoil shortage, or are we just stuck in a bureaucratic quagmire? How do other folks get their grids?
