Formvar/Carbon on 400 Mesh Gold (Pack of 25)

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 Film Quality for Accurate Imaging

The Formvar/Carbon-coated gold grids feature a continuous, smooth film with minimal pinholes. This ensures stable and reliable support for delicate TEM specimens, resulting in clear, high-resolution images with minimal background interference during analysis.


Superior Material Construction and Purity

Constructed from high purity gold mesh, Formvar polyvinyl formal, and evaporated carbon, these support grids guarantee contaminant-free surfaces. Their chemical inertness and neutral pH make them highly compatible for a wide range of sample preparations and imaging protocols in TEM laboratories.


Safe Handling and Longevity

Each grid is designed for safe use and long shelf life, remaining effective for up to two years if stored properly in a dry, dust-free environment. For best results, users should handle grids with antistatic tools, avoiding direct contact with the film surface to prevent damage and contamination.
