Product Description

These thin cast films of Formvar have been strengthened with the addition of a layer of evaporated carbon on copper grids. The composite films have extra resilience and strength compared with carbon films. They are recommended for use where the grid has to undergo several processing steps during specimen preparation.

Supplied either in packs of 25 or 50 grids in a grid box depending on each particular product.

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



High-Performance Support for Electron Microscopy

This product features H7 hexagonal mesh copper grids coated with Formvar and carbon films, offering robust support for TEM and SEM sample preparation. The double-layered film enhances conductivity and electron transparency, making these grids suitable for high-resolution imaging and reliable sample analysis in research laboratories.


Durable and User-Friendly Design

Each grid is packaged in an antistatic storage box, ensuring minimal contamination and static discharge during handling. The smooth, uniform film is easy to handle when using anti-static tools and gloves. With a shelf life of 24 months and resistance to chemical degradation, these grids provide consistency over extended usage.


Versatile Application in Science and Research

These grids are optimized for use in a range of electron microscopy applications, including biological specimen analysis and materials science research. Their compatibility with TEM, SEM (support), and electron diffraction allows scientists to capture detailed images and perform structural studies with confidence.

FAQs of Formvar/Carbon Films on Copper H7 Grids (Pack of 25):


Q: How should Formvar/Carbon Films on Copper H7 Grids be handled during sample preparation?

A: It is essential to handle these grids using anti-static tools and gloves to avoid contamination and prevent film damage. Handle only the edges of the grid, and avoid touching the film surface directly.

Q: What are the main benefits of using these grids for TEM applications?

A: These grids provide a smooth, conductive, and electron-transparent film that enhances image clarity, minimizes specimen charging, and supports delicate biological and material samples during Transmission Electron Microscopy.

Q: When should I replace unused grids, and how long can they be stored?

A: Unused grids have a shelf life of 24 months when stored in a cool, dry place inside their antistatic grid storage box. Replace the grids once they surpass the recommended shelf life or show visible signs of contamination or damage.

Q: Where are these support films typically utilized?

A: They are commonly used in research and academic laboratories, particularly in the United Kingdom and worldwide, for electron microscopy studies of biological and material science samples.

Q: What is the process for preparing samples on these grids for TEM analysis?

A: Samples are typically deposited as thin films or sections onto the Formvar/carbon-coated side, air-dried, and then inserted into the microscope. Take care to avoid excessive moisture or solvents that could degrade the Formvar film.

Q: Can these grids be used in SEM or other electron microscopy techniques?

A: Yes, in addition to TEM, these grids can be utilized as support films for SEM or electron diffraction applications, provided they are compatible with the sample and required imaging conditions.

Q: What advantages does the H7 hexagonal mesh pattern provide?

A: The H7 hexagonal mesh ensures optimal support and a consistent open area, improving visibility and stability for a broad range of specimen types observed under high magnification.
