SMART GridsTM simplify nano- and bioanalysis by changing the rules of sample preparation.

SMART GridsTM are smart because biological and nanomaterials are attracted to and self-assemble on the grid surface via an active interface. The ultrathin membranes are electron transparent and can be hydrophilic, hydrophobic or charged to provide the right substrate for all your EM needs. SMART Grids are now available with either SiO2 or new 5 nm Si3N4 membranes for reproducible and accurate imaging and metrology.
