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 Films for TEM Analysis

These Formvar/Carbon Films on F1 Nickel Grids offer exceptional specimen support for various TEM applications. The smooth, consistent film ensures excellent sample stability and minimal background interference during imaging, making them indispensable for high-resolution data acquisition.

Ease of Use and Compatibility

Engineered for convenience, these pre-mounted grids are suitable for all standard 3.05 mm TEM holders. Utilize fine tweezers to handle the grids, as the ultra-thin films are delicate. Each grid is individually checked for quality, ensuring reliable performance in demanding laboratory workflows.

Safe Storage and Long Shelf Life

Maintain optimal film integrity by storing the grids at room temperature, protected from moisture. Thanks to their robust manufacturing and choice of materials, these grids typically deliver over a year of dependable service when stored appropriately, reducing waste and replenishment frequency.

FAQs of Formvar/Carbon Films on F1 Nickel Grids (Pack of 50):

Q: How should I handle Formvar/Carbon Films on F1 Nickel Grids to avoid damage?

A: It is crucial to use fine-tipped tweezers when handling these grids, as the support films are extremely thin (~1025 nm) and can be easily ruptured. Always avoid touching the film surface and handle only by the grid edge.

Q: What are the recommended storage conditions for these TEM support grids?

A: Store the grids at room temperature in a clean, dry environment away from moisture to ensure the integrity and longevity of the films. Proper storage will help maintain their quality for over one year.

Q: When is the best time to use these grids during TEM sample preparation?

A: Use these grids immediately after removing them from their packaging to prevent contamination or moisture absorption. They can serve as the foundational support during initial stages of sample preparation for TEM.

Q: Where are these grids typically applied, and in what types of analysis?

A: Formvar/Carbon Films on F1 Nickel Grids are primarily used in transmission electron microscopy laboratories for supporting biological or material science samples during high-resolution imaging. Their uniform surface minimizes background artifacts, ideal for demanding analytical applications.

Q: What benefits do Formvar/Carbon Films on F1 Nickel Grids offer over other types of support films?

A: These grids provide a smooth, uniform and high purity support environment, reducing background noise in TEM imaging. The combination of Formvar and carbon films on nickel grids enhances specimen stability and compatibility with both biological and materials research.

Q: Can these grids be cleaned or reused after analysis?

A: Due to their delicate nature and potential contamination after use, these support films are generally designed for single use. Attempting to clean or reuse them may compromise the integrity of the ultrathin film.
