WEBINAR 1 | APRIL 14 | 6 PM BST/10 AM PACIFIC

Better grids start upstream-learn more about SPA sample prep

Rebecca Thompson (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Claudia Lopez (Pacific Northwest Cryo-EM Center)
April 14, 6 PM BST

High-quality single particle analysis (SPA) results start long before you ever load a grid into the microscope. And that's why, in our three-part educational webinar series, Session 1 is all about sample preparation. Hear from experts at the NIH National Centers for Cryo-EM alongside experts at Thermo Fisher Scientific.

In the sample prep session we will explore:

  *   Sample purification considerations that impact SPA success
  *   Managing heterogeneity, aggregation, and preferred orientation
  *   Cryo-EM grid preparation best practices
  *   Grid screening tips to identify winning conditions faster
  *   Common pitfalls and how to troubleshoot them

Look forward to seeing some of you there!
