Thermo Scientific™ VitroEase™ Apoferritin Standard
Description
- A highly validated pure protein for use as a quality control sample for cryo-electron microscopy single particle analysis
- Designed specifically to meet the stringent needs for high protein purity, minimal protein aggregation, and intact protein structure
- Protein sample grid preparation is a major bottleneck in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) single particle analysis (SPA), often requiring days or even weeks to optimize
- Apoferritin, a 24-subunit protein (474 kDa), is considered the gold standard for cryo-EM SPA
- Protein production is optimized and validated for use in cryo-EM grid preparation and analysis
- High-quality, consistent protein standard documented via lot-specific certificates of analysis
- Ready-to-use format with each single-use vial sufficient for 5 to 6 grid preparations
- Standard is fit for use as a comparison for success for new users, or as quality control for expert users
