Formvar/Carbon on 300 Mesh Gold (Pack of 50)

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.

Exceptional Electron Transparency

These grids feature a smooth, uniform Formvar/Carbon film, only 1030 nm thick, which is specifically designed for optimal electron transparency during TEM analysis. This characteristic ensures that specimens can be visualized at high resolution with minimal background interference, leading to clearer and more accurate results.


Robust Gold Structure for Reliable Support

Manufactured with a 300 mesh gold grid, these supports provide both structural integrity and chemical inertness. Gold ensures excellent resistance against corrosion and reactions during sample preparation and imaging, supporting reproducible and consistent results for both biological and materials science specimens.


Simple Handling and Storage

To maintain grid quality, handle only with fine tweezers or gloves to prevent contamination. Store the grids in a dry, airtight desiccator to prolong their shelf life. Following these practices preserves the smoothness and electron transparency of the film, safeguarding the performance of each grid for sensitive applications.
