<p>Hi Scott, <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We experienced similar delays when ordering Quantifoil grids from EMS. In lieu of said delays, we would often order similar grids from TedPella, which is a bit pricier, but they tend to arrive within two weeks, usually. We have also started ordering C-flat
grids from EMS, which arrive sooner, and often provide thinner, better quality ice than we have experienced with Quantifoil.

<p>Cheers,<br>

We order directly from Quantifoil for $380/100grids. We have always<br>
waited 4-5 months to get our order so as soon as we receive the package, I<br>
place another order. The last order we received was in February so I<br>
have not been aware of any shortages lately.<br>

<br>
Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
My university has a contract with VWR, and we order Quantifoils through<br>
them. They in turn get the grids from EMS. We have been waiting on an<br>
order for over 6 months, and now they tell us that Quantifoils are on<br>
indefinite backorder. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a global<br>
Quantifoil shortage, or are we just stuck in a bureaucratic quagmire? How<br>
do other folks get their grids?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your feedback,<br>
Scott<br>
