New Autogrid Rings and C-Clips
We are now offering autogrid rings from Nanosoft. These rings are premium quality and a functionally-equivalent option for clipping grids for use in Thermo Fisher Scientific (TFS) cryoEMs and autoloader systems but at a much lower price.
They have been tested across 50+ facilities/labs (as of June 2023) without any instances of defects or issues in the autoloader or microscope. Sold in packs of 100 Autogrid Rings and 100 C-clips.
JBScreen PEG/Salt Reagent Kit For Initial Screening
JBScreen PEG/Salt is an effective reagent kit designed for initial screening of crystallization conditions of biological macromolecules.
It comprises high-purity PEG 3350 and PEG 5000 MME, each combined with 48 different salts, thus covering a range of anions and cations most frequently used in bio-crystallography. The unique combination of the reagents allows screening of PEG versus ionic strength, ion type and pH.
At MiTeGen, we sponsor numerous events, conferences, workshops and symposiums throughout the year. These events include fields such as structural biology, crystallography, cryo-EM, beamline research and more. We believe in supporting researchers and our industry. Listed below are two upcoming events you might find interesting.
The São Paulo School of Advanced Science in Cryo-EM is July 10th to the 21st. The school will cover the theoretical and practical foundations of advanced Cryo-EM techniques used to determine macromolecular structures. We are a sponsor of the school.
PSB Symposium on Dynamics in Structural Biology is July 6th to the 7th. It will focus on Dynamics in Structural Biology, and will illustrate how big biological questions can be resolved in structural biology through the application of interdisciplinary methodological approaches. We are a sponsor of the symposium.
