Formvar/Carbon on 2mmx1mm Nickel Slot (Pack of 25)

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 Sample Preparation

These nickel slot grids with Formvar/Carbon coating offer optimal structural integrity and compatibility with analytical and research-grade electron microscopy. Their ultra-thin support layer provides high image clarity for the examination of biological and material science specimens. The slot design facilitates easier mounting of delicate ultrathin sections and promotes well-resolved imaging across a smooth, continuous film.


Stable Handling and Long-Term Reliability

Each grid meets EM laboratory standards and is supplied in a pack of 25 for cost-effective, frequent use. Easy to handle with anti-static tweezers, these grids maintain film integrity, resist water solubility, and retain stability for several years under proper storage. Nickels high purity and Formvar/Carbon film ensure chemical non-reactivity within typical electron microscopy environments.


Environmental Safety and Responsible Disposal

While the grids are non-biodegradable, responsible handling and disposal are vital, especially if contaminated. Nickel waste should be treated as hazardous in compliance with UK and international regulations, ensuring laboratory safety and proper environmental stewardship. Always use gloves to prevent nickel sensitization and store the grids in dry, dust-free conditions.
