Formvar/Carbon Films on F1 Copper Grids (Pack of 50)

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-Quality Support for Electron Microscopy

These Formvar/Carbon films on copper grids offer consistent support and image clarity for transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Researchers benefit from their robust construction, minimal pinholes, and low background, making them ideal for precise imaging of ultra-thin specimens. Their high chemical purity and uniformity meet the requirements of analytical and clinical laboratories.


Optimized Handling and Longevity

Packed in anti-static, dust-free storage containers, these grids maintain their surface integrity and functional lifespan for a minimum of two years under proper storage. The combination of Formvar and carbon ensures both mechanical stability and electrical conductivity during microscopy. Handle only with anti-static tweezers to prevent film rupture, thus maximizing grid usability.


Versatile Application Across Research Fields

Supporting a range of microscopy sample preparations, these grids are indispensable for imaging biological tissues, polymers, and advanced materials. Their high compatibility with industry-standard TEM and SEM instruments allows straightforward integration into most laboratory workflows for both routine and advanced research.
