#3 NEW: Preparation of TEM grids for micropatterning with PRIMO, passivation
A successful micropatterning experience first requires good passivation.
As with the micropatterning on glass substrates, the first mandatory step for successful micropatterning on EM grids is passivation.
This protocol shows you the reagents and equipment needed for passivation of your EM grids before creating your protein micropatterns with the PRIMO system.
