Are these rings compatible with the Thermo Fisher (FEI) Clipping Station?
View in the company profile“Yes. Our rings and C-clips are manufactured to identical specifications as TFS compatible rings, ensuring they fit perfectly into the standard AutoGrid clipping station and work with standard AutoGrid tweezers.”
What is the difference between Standard and FIB rings?
View in the company profile“Standard AutoGrid rings are continuous and used for most imaging. FIB AutoGrid rings have a "D" shape or cutout that allows the ion beam to mill the grid at shallow angles without shadowing, critical for FIB lamella milling.”
Can these be reused?
View in the company profile“While possible, de-clipping AutoGrids can deform the C-clip. It is generally recommended to use new C-clips for each sample to ensure secure retention, though the AutoGrid rings themselves can often be cleaned and reused if not damaged.”
Do the rings have orientation marks?
View in the company profile“Yes, our rings feature standard AutoGrid orientation marks (a small notch or flat) to help align the grid axis relative to the tilt axis of the microscope, which is vital for Cryo-ET AutoGrid workflows.”
How do I ensure the C-clip is seated correctly?
View in the company profile“During AutoGrid inspection, check for "C-clip bottoming"—the clip should be fully seated in the groove. Using a clipping tool rack with good lighting helps verify this before loading into the cassette.”
