Product Description

Carbon films on nickel 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.



Superior Support for TEM Imaging

Our carbon films on nickel grids offer essential support for high-resolution TEM imaging. The high-purity carbon film enhances image clarity while maintaining strong electron transparency and conductivity. Customizable film thickness and mesh sizes (200, 300, or 400) are available to match specific application needs, ensuring reliable performance in various research fields and analytical tasks.


Exceptional Durability and Sample Integrity

These grids showcase remarkable thermal and mechanical stability under the electron beam, minimizing distortion or contamination during analysis. Their smooth, conductive carbon surface can be tailored for hydrophobic or hydrophilic properties, catering to diverse specimen requirements. The robust nickel mesh ensures resilience and longevity, delivering dependable results batch after batch.


Carefully Packaged and Easy to Use

Each pack contains either 50 or 100 grids, delivered in an anti-static grid box to protect against dust and electrostatic damage. With a shelf life of over two years if stored in a dry, dust-free environment, our grids guarantee long-term usability. The standard 3.05 mm size ensures broad holder compatibility, while simple handling streamlines workflow in both routine and advanced TEM protocols.

FAQs of Carbon films on Nickel Grids:


Q: How do you prepare TEM samples on carbon films supported by nickel grids?

A: To prepare TEM samples, gently place your specimen onto the pre-cleaned carbon film on the nickel grid, allowing it to adhere. The choice of hydrophilic or hydrophobic surfaces can be requested depending on your samples needs. After mounting, use standard negative staining or cryo protocols as required by your analysis.

Q: What customization options are available for carbon film thickness and surface properties?

A: Film thickness can be tailored between 10 and 50 nanometers. Surface properties are customizable as well, with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic treatments available upon request, providing optimal conditions for various types of biological or material samples.

Q: When should the carbon/nickel grids be replaced or discarded?

A: Replace grids if you observe film rupturing, heavy contamination, or mechanical damage under the electron microscope. For disposal, follow local regulations regarding heavy metals since the grid base is made of nickel.

Q: Where are these grids typically used, and who supplies them?

A: These grids are widely utilized in research laboratories, universities, and analytical facilities for TEM imaging. They are supplied by a range of dealers, exporters, importers, manufacturers, producers, retailers, suppliers, traders, and wholesalers, with broad availability in the United Kingdom.

Q: What is the purification process before packaging the carbon-coated nickel grids?

A: Each grid undergoes cycle cleaning and pre-evaporation to ensure the carbon film is free from contaminants. This process enhances the purity and stability of the films, supporting high-clarity imaging and reproducibility in sensitive analyses.

Q: How should the grids be stored to maximize shelf life and maintain their quality?

A: Store the grids in their original anti-static box, within a dry and dust-free environment. Following these storage conditions preserves the carbon films structure and ensures a shelf life greater than two years.

Q: What benefits does the carbon film offer in TEM applications compared to uncoated grids?

A: The carbon film provides a smooth, conductive support that minimizes charging and beam damage, offers high electron transparency for fine imaging, and reduces background noise, all contributing to superior image quality for your TEM studies.
