Product Description

Carbon films on gold grids are thin and highly transparent to electrons, offering fine grain and low contrast that does not interfere with specimen structure.

Supplied as packs of 25 or 50 grids in a grid box.

Carbon support films can be applied to other grid sizes, material or type. Further details available on request.



Exceptional Support for Advanced Microscopy

Gold grids coated with carbon films deliver outstanding electrical conductivity and stability during electron microscopy, ensuring high-resolution imaging. Their ultra-thin carbon layer enhances sample visibility without compromising contrast, making them ideal for delicate biological and nanomaterial specimens. Carefully controlled mesh sizes and film types cater to diverse research needs, while precise gold purity guarantees consistent results.


Designed for Ease of Use and Consistency

These grids are packed in anti-static containers, arriving ready for immediate sample loading. The robust chemical and thermal properties of both gold and carbon ensure compatibility with a broad range of laboratory protocols. Their shelf stability, non-toxic composition, and neutral pH create a safe work environment, while recommended handling minimizes contamination and preserves grid quality.

FAQs of Carbon films on Gold Grids:


Q: How should I handle carbon films on gold TEM grids during sample preparation?

A: It is essential to use clean, anti-static tweezers, avoiding contact with fingers or contaminated surfaces. This prevents physical damage and maintains the pristine surface of the ultra-thin carbon film, ensuring reliable imaging results in electron microscopy applications.

Q: What types of specimens are carbon films on gold grids suitable for?

A: These grids are compatible with a wide array of samples, including biological tissues, viruses, and nanomaterials. Their non-reactive, ultra-thin carbon coating provides stable support for high-resolution imaging of both inorganic and organic specimens in TEM.

Q: When should I perform glow-discharge treatment on the grids?

A: Glow-discharging is recommended prior to sample application if a hydrophilic surface is required, such as for aqueous or biological samples. This process temporarily alters the hydrophobic carbon surface, enhancing sample adherence and spreading.

Q: What are the benefits of using gold grids with carbon films over other grid types?

A: Gold grids offer superior conductivity and chemical resistance compared to copper or nickel options, reducing artefacts and supporting stable imaging. The ultra-thin carbon film provides uniform support without interfering with sample analysis, making them ideal for demanding analytical and research-grade work.

Q: Where should the grids be stored to maintain their quality?

A: Store the grids in a dry, dust-free environment, ideally within their anti-static, clean containers. Proper storage prevents contamination and damage, ensuring grid stability and consistent performance throughout their shelf life.

Q: What mesh sizes and support types are available?

A: Mesh sizes include standard options of 200 or 300, as well as custom configurations. Support types range from continuous, holey, to lacey carbon films, allowing users to select the optimal structure for their specific analytical or research needs.

Q: How do carbon films on gold grids benefit high-resolution electron microscopy?

A: Their chemical inertness, high electrical conductivity, and ultra-thin, uniform carbon layer minimize background noise and enhance signal clarity. This ensures optimal conditions for high-magnification imaging and nanomaterial characterization, supporting reliable and reproducible TEM analysis.
