Product Description

These thin cast films of Formvar have been strengthened with the addition of a layer of evaporated carbon on nickel 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 as 25 or 50 grids in a grid box.

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



Superior Support for TEM Applications

Experience enhanced specimen stability and minimal background interference with Formvar/Carbon Films on F1 Nickel Grids. The fine mesh and ultra-thin, uniform film ensure excellent electron transparency, enabling high-resolution imaging. Nickel grids provide additional strength, allowing for the successful preparation and examination of fragile samples in transmission electron microscopy investigations.


Ready-to-Use and Safe Handling

Each pack contains 25 ready-to-use, electron microscopy-grade grids housed in a contamination-free polystyrene box. The smooth Formvar/carbon film is carefully applied for uniformity, making each grid ideal for precise sample mounting. Follow best practices by using anti-static handling tools and gloves to protect both user and grids, given nickels allergenic potential.

FAQs of Formvar/Carbon Films on F1 Nickel Grids (Pack of 25):


Q: How should I handle and store Formvar/Carbon Films on F1 Nickel Grids?

A: Handle the grids with anti-static tweezers and gloves to prevent accidental damage or contamination. Store them in the supplied polystyrene grid box within a clean, dry environment at room temperature (20-25C). Proper handling preserves film integrity and ensures optimal results during TEM analysis.

Q: What are the primary uses of these Formvar/carbon-coated nickel grids?

A: These grids are primarily used as support films for specimens in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). The fine mesh and thin, uniform film provide stable support for ultrathin sections and nanoparticles, facilitating high-resolution sample imaging.

Q: When should I use Formvar/carbon films on F1 nickel grids instead of other grid types?

A: Select these grids when your application requires high electron transparency, fine specimen support, or compatibility with nickel grids in your instrument. Their fine F1 mesh and robust film are advantageous for delicate, high-resolution TEM work involving biological or material science samples.

Q: Where are these grids compatible, and can they be used with all types of TEM holders?

A: These grids feature a standard 3 mm diameter, making them compatible with most commercial TEM and STEM sample holders. Always confirm your holders specifications, but F1 nickel grids are commonly accepted in electron microscopy laboratories worldwide.

Q: What are the benefits of the Formvar/carbon blend film on nickel grids?

A: The Formvar/carbon blend provides a strong yet electron transparent support film that minimizes background interference, supporting delicate samples without compromising resolution. The nickel grids add durability and are resistant to deformation, extending usability in demanding research conditions.

Q: How long can I store these grids, and what is the recommended shelf life?

A: When kept in a clean, dry location at room temperature, these grids remain stable for up to two years. To ensure the films optimal performance, use within this period and avoid exposure to solvents or physical stress.
