Specimen Preperation
Sample Aggregation State PARTICLE
Vitrification Instrument FEI VITROBOT MARK IV
Cryogen Name ETHANE
Sample Vitrification Details Quantifoil UltrAuFoil R1.2/1.3 300 mesh holey gold grids were plasma cleaned on a Model 1070 (Fischione Instruments) for 30 sec at 70% power and with an 80% Argon and 20% Oxygen mixture prior to the application of 0.004 ml of sample. Grids were plunge frozen into liquid ethane using a Vitrobot mark IV (FEI) with 95% chamber humidity at 283K.
