The Challenge: Unlocking Graphene’s Potential 

For decades, graphene has been heralded as a material that could revolutionize industries. Its remarkable properties—exceptional strength, conductivity, and thinness—hold the promise of transforming semiconductors, energy storage, and biomedical research. Yet, despite these possibilities, graphene’s full potential has remained unrealized due to fundamental challenges in scalability, consistency, and quality. 

Existing production methods introduce defects, contamination, and mechanical failures, making graphene unreliable for high-performance applications. Nowhere is this limitation more evident than in cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), where poor-quality graphene grids have historically failed to deliver the necessary cleanliness, consistency, and structural integrity. 

Our Breakthrough

Ultra-High-Quality Graphene, Scalable for Impact

Sindri Materials has developed a proprietary graphene production method that achieves unparalleled atomic cleanliness, damage-free structure, and reproducibility at scale. Our first product—a graphene-based cryo-EM grid—solves a fundamental challenge in structural biology by providing researchers with an ultra-clean imaging scaffold that enables: 

  • 5X improvement in imaging resolution 
  • 10X faster imaging workflows 
  • 75% reduction in sample waste and costs 
  • Greater protein stability and reproducibility 

Our graphene’s uncompromising quality ensures that cryo-EM scientists can capture clear, artifact-free images of proteins and viruses, accelerating discoveries in drug development, vaccines, and fundamental biology. 

But our innovations don’t stop at cryo-EM. Our scalable approach to graphene production opens doors to semiconductors, quantum computing, and next-generation electronics, where ultra-high-quality graphene is essential. 

Why Sindri’s Graphene Stands Apart 

We never sacrifice quality for scale—our technology delivers both.

  • Quality

    Atomically clean, damage-free, and true monolayer graphene—engineered with the lowest levels of contamination for unparalleled performance

  • Reproducibility

    Precision-engineered for consistency, reliability, and repeatability—ensuring graphene of the highest standard in every batch

  • Scalability

    Uncompromising quality at scale—pushing the boundaries of graphene production without sacrificing purity or performance

  • Transferability

    Seamless, intact graphene transfer for real-world applications without compromise

Cryo-EM: A High-Impact First Application 

Graphene Grids for Cryo-EM

Cryo-EM is one of the most powerful tools in modern structural biology, used to visualize molecules at near-atomic resolution. However, poor-quality sample grids have limited the technique’s potential for drug discovery, vaccine development, and fundamental disease research. 

The Problem: Current Cryo-EM Grids Aren’t Good Enough 

  • Traditional grids introduce contamination, reducing image clarity. 
  • Proteins clump unpredictably, making data collection inefficient. 
  • Existing graphene grids suffer from fractures and defects. 

Our Solution: The Next-Generation Graphene Cryo-EM Grid 

Sindri’s graphene-based grids solve these longstanding issues by providing: 

  • An ultra-clean support layer: ensuring clear, unobstructed protein imaging. 
  • A stable molecular environment: preventing protein clumping/aggregation. 
  • Higher resolution: revealing new depths if structural details
  • Faster imaging workflows: accelerating discoveries and reducing costs.
