Dear All,
   Please join Quantifoil and SPT Labtech and learn more about the optimum protocols for data collection and sample preparation with new HexAuFoil grids:

Achieving better images with HexAuFoil®: how to get the most from data collection with ultra-small hole gold films.

Thursday, June 6th, 2024: 11 am Eastern/4 pm BST
With: Julio Ortiz (ThermoFisher Scientific), Peter Harrison (eBIC, UK) and Félix Weis (IBS, France)

REGISTER NOW<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2431032742434756956?source=3DEM__;!!Mih3wA!GB2uAgbcGiuaXpIktJUqGYdtaW9S9BbYcaNI-mo3CdMBMEcKyhPqGJHjTlN5hQATuEk2Sqh6ict_oKRF_Y3CFN_HEoB-zQ$ >

New HexAuFoil® specimen supports deliver thin, consistent ice and virtually eliminate beam-induced movement to ensure better cryoEM images every time. Register today for our webinar and discover the optimum sample preparation protocols, microscope settings, and data collection parameters to get the best results from these unique grids. During the webinar you will learn about:

*           The latest EPU updates from Julio Ortiz, Software Product Manager at ThermoFisher Scientific, and how they will facilitate data collection with HexAuFoil® grids

*           Advice on optimum HexAuFoil® sample support data collection strategies from Peter Harrison of the UK National CryoEM Facility, eBIC

*           How using HexAuFoil® grids delivered better images for Félix Weis of the IBS in France

Each hole of the unique HexAuFoil® format is just 300 nm in diameter, arranged on a 30 nm thick gold film in a hexagonal array. As a result, every HexAuFoil® grid has 9 million densely-packed, ultrasmall holes, compared to ~850,000 larger holes on a more standard cryoEM support. This arrangement delivers highly consistent thin ice (35 +/- 6.5 nm) for high-throughput, high-resolution imaging, providing sample preparation and data collection parameters have been optimized. Register for our webinar today and make sure you learn how to obtain better images every time for your samples with these amazing new sample supports.

ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS

Julio Ortiz, Sr. Software Product Manager, ThermoFisher Scientific" Julio began his career in electron microscopy at the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC), specializing later in tomography and associated techniques at the Max Plank Institute of Biochemistry. His expertise covers a broad range of techniques in cryo-electron microscopy, from single particle analysis to focused ion beam micromachinery for cellular tomography. After having served at the Netherlands Centre for Electron Nanoscopy (NeCEN), the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology (IGBMC), and the Forschungszentrum Jülich as Cryo-EM facility manager, he joined ThermoFisher Scientific.

Peter Harrison, Electron Microscope Scientist eBIC, Diamond Light Source. Dr Peter Harrison is an electron microscopy scientist at the electron bio-imaging centre (eBIC) at Diamond Light Source, UK with an expertise in membrane protein structural biology. He obtained his PhD in Life Sciences and Chemistry from the University of Warwick before undertaking post-doctoral studies at the University of Edinburgh, University of Oxford, and Diamond Light Source. His research interests focus on the biophysical and biochemical characterization of small (>100 kDa) membrane proteins and membrane protein complexes.

Félix Weis, Cryo-EM Scientist, Institut de Biologie Structurale, Grenoble France. Dr Félix Weis completed his doctoral training at the University of Rennes, France, before going to the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK, for his postdoctoral work. He then joined EMBL Heidelberg as a staff scientist on the cryo-EM platform. Currently based at the IBS in Grenoble, France, Dr Weis's research is focused on developing methods in the cryo-electron microscopy of biological samples with a strong emphasis on sample preparation.
