Product Description

These thin cast films of Formvar have been strengthened with the addition of a layer of evaporated carbon on gold 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-Quality Gold Mesh Grids for TEM

These 200 mesh gold grids, coated with thin layers of Formvar and carbon, are tailored for researchers seeking reliable TEM sample supports. The grids are laboratory/research grade and deliver a smooth, uniform film that prevents imaging artifacts, facilitating accurate ultrathin section or particle analysis for a variety of research projects.


Optimal Performance and Stability

The combination of a gold mesh base with a Formvar (~10-20 nm) and carbon (~5 nm) coating provides both chemical resistance and mechanical stability. Excellent for applications where high purity and minimized reactivity are crucial, these grids are designed for both routine and specialized electron microscopy investigations.


Simple Handling and Storage

Each grid is round, odorless, and non-poisonous, packaged to maintain a shelf life of at least one year when stored in a dry, dust-free environment. Use anti-static tweezers during handling to prevent contamination or damage, ensuring your samples remain pristine and ready for imaging.

FAQs of Formvar/Carbon on 200 Mesh Gold (Pack of 50):


Q: How should Formvar/Carbon on 200 Mesh Gold grids be handled to prevent contamination?

A: To avoid contamination and physical damage, it is recommended to handle the grids with anti-static tweezers (not included) in a clean, dust-free environment. Minimizing direct contact helps maintain the integrity of the Formvar/Carbon coating.

Q: What is the benefit of using a gold grid with Formvar and carbon coating in TEM analysis?

A: Using gold grids with Formvar and carbon films ensures high stability, chemical resistance, and a smooth sample-support surface, which significantly reduces imaging artifacts and enhances data reliability for TEM studies.

Q: When should these grids be used in the sample preparation process?

A: The grids are typically used during the preparation of ultrathin sections or particle suspensions for transmission electron microscopy, serving as the final support to mount samples before TEM analysis.

Q: Are these grids compatible with all types of TEM instruments?

A: Yes, with a standard grid diameter of 3.05 mm, these grids are compatible with most conventional TEM instruments used in research laboratories worldwide.

Q: What is the recommended storage condition for these grids to ensure maximum shelf life?

A: Store the grids in a dry and dust-free container, away from direct moisture, to preserve their quality. Under these conditions, the grids maintain a shelf life of one year or more.

Q: How do the Formvar and carbon coating thicknesses contribute to the imaging process?

A: The Formvar layer (~10-20 nm) provides a robust, yet thin substrate for sample support, while the carbon layer (~5 nm) enhances electrical conductivity and sample adherence, both contributing to artifact-free and clear imaging results.
