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.

High Purity TEM Support Grids

These nickel grids with Formvar/Carbon films are manufactured to strict ISO/ASTM standards, ensuring consistent quality and trace contaminant-free surfaces. Their circular mesh provides stable support for delicate TEM samples, making them a preferred choice for researchers requiring reproducible imaging results.

Secure Handling and Storage

To maintain grid quality, always use antistatic handling precautions and store the grids in dry, cool environments. Each pack contains 25 grids, allowing for efficient sample preparation and cost-effective inventory management in laboratories and research facilities.

Broad Compatibility and Application

Formvar/Carbon on Nickel grids are compatible with most electron microscopy requirements, featuring a stable film suitable for various specimens. They offer excellent mechanical strength and stability for routine TEM sample analysis and preparation.

FAQs of Formvar/Carbon on 100 Mesh Nickel (Pack of 25):

Q: How should Formvar/Carbon on 100 Mesh Nickel grids be handled to avoid damage?

A: Formvar/Carbon on nickel grids should be handled with antistatic precautions and gentle tools to prevent damage to the fragile film. It is recommended to use tweezers specifically designed for electron microscopy grids and avoid contact with liquids, as the grid is not water soluble.

Q: What is the typical application of these 100 Mesh Nickel grids in laboratory work?

A: These grids are widely used as support films for Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) sample preparation, serving as a stable base for ultra-thin specimen sections during imaging and analysis.

Q: When is it necessary to inspect the TEM grids before use?

A: It is advisable to visually inspect the grids before each use to ensure the integrity of the Formvar/Carbon film. Inspection helps confirm that there are no tears, holes, or contamination that could compromise sample quality or imaging results.

Q: Where should Formvar/Carbon on 100 Mesh Nickel grids be stored for optimal preservation?

A: To preserve grid quality, store them in a dry, cool environment, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Sealed containers or desiccators are recommended to maintain their stability and prevent film degradation.

Q: What benefit do Formvar/Carbon composite films provide for TEM sample analysis?

A: The composite Formvar/Carbon films offer mechanical strength, excellent support for delicate samples, and a stable background for TEM imaging. This ensures high-resolution results and reproducible data for researchers.

Q: How should these grids be disposed of after use in the laboratory?

A: After use, dispose of the grids following local laboratory waste regulations. Though non-toxic, it is important to adhere to standard waste handling protocols to maintain laboratory safety and compliance.
