Planchet designs are roughly shown below in cross section. They are available in brass only. Depths of cavity in the planchets are 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3mm.
Using the two planchets, one on the other, in various combinations, permit the cavity thicknesses as illustrated below. Available in both 3mm and 6mm diameter.
The Metal Universal HPF and Grid Boxes from NanoSoft are the first storage box for High Pressure Freezing Hats (3mm sized), and can also store both bare Cryo-EM grids and AutoGrids. The four pockets have two cross-shaped slots – one slot can hold either unclipped grids or AutoGrids, while the wider perpendicular slot holds HPF hats – making this box designed for all workflows, whether doing plunge freezing or HPF.
These Metal Universal HPF and Grid Boxes come supplied in packs of six with either Low Profile Lids or without lids. The base can be used with other types of cryo grid box lids, such as Clear Pin Lids (#160-47C) or Metal Pin Lids (#160-47M).
The Low Profile Lid (#160-45) is made of anodized aluminum and is screwed on and off using Hex Tool (#160-45T). The low profile of the lid allows two grid boxes to be stacked in one pocket of a Cryo-EM grid storage puck, doubling your storage capacity. The anodized aluminum is less susceptible to static electricity than plastic lids, causing less sticking of grids to the underside of the lid. The Low Profile Lid is also compatible with all of our High Capacity Cryo Grid Boxes (#160-55, #160-56, #160-59).
