<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We have some difficulties to get homogenous ice when we blot our quantifoil grids with a Leica EM GP. We have low concentrated samples and we want to blot from the side opposite to the drop (the copper side). Our conditions
worked well with holey formvar Ted Pella grids but not with quantifoil. We tried different grades of paper (1 or 4) blotting conditions and glow discharged conditions. Any advice will be helpful.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
