How your QUANTIFOIL® support films will arrive

Your support films will arrive securely packed in a grid-box as shown below, with the base grid and support film details clearly labelled. Every box carries a identification number. Please retain this number for your records in case of any questions regarding the grids.

Packs of 50 or 100 grids

For our standard 100 grid pack size, the grids will arrive in a box as shown below. In addition to its unique identification number, these boxes also have a Quantifoil registry number. Please retain both numbers in case of any questions. This grid-box style is also used for our 50-grid pack size, but with only one side of the box filled. In both cases, a single grid is placed in each grid-box slot with the film-coated side facing the center of the box. Every slot in the box is uniquely identified by a letter (column) and number (row) for your future reference.

25 grid packs

For our 25 grid pack size (available on request for some grid formats), the grids will arrive in a box similar to that shown below. These smaller grid-boxes do not have a Quantifoil registry number. Every slot in the box is still uniquely identified by a letter (column) and number (row) for your future reference, and with this style of box, each grid is placed with the film-coated side facing towards those numbers (i.e. towards the left of the box when the letters labelling the columns are at the top).
