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.



Reliable Support for High-Resolution Microscopy

Engineered for TEM sample preparation, these gold grids provide a stable and conductive platform, minimizing imaging artifacts and ensuring excellent sample support. Their smooth, uniform surface enhances clarity and reproducibility in electron microscopy applications, meeting the rigorous requirements of research laboratories.


Premium Materials and Construction

The grids are made from ultra-pure gold mesh (99.99%), coated with a fine Formvar film topped by a carbon layer. This combination ensures mechanical stability, chemical resistance, and optimal electron transparency, suited for a range of biological and material science investigations.


Proper Storage and Handling

To maintain their pristine quality, store grids in a cool, dry, dust-free environment. Avoid direct contact with fingers, as oils can compromise the surfaceuse fine forceps for handling. With a two-year shelf life under proper storage, these grids remain ready for critical laboratory tasks.

FAQs of Formvar/Carbon on 75 Mesh Gold (Pack of 25):


Q: How should I handle and store the Formvar/Carbon on 75 Mesh Gold grids to maintain their quality?

A: To preserve surface integrity and performance, always handle these grids with clean forceps, avoiding contact with fingers. Store them in a cool, dry, dust-free container to shield against moisture and contaminants, thus preserving their two-year shelf life.

Q: What are the typical applications and benefits of using these grids in TEM?

A: Designed for transmission electron microscopy (TEM), these grids act as a reliable sample support, providing a stable and conductive surface essential for high-contrast imaging. Their smooth and uniform coatings help reduce imaging artifacts, leading to clearer, more reproducible results.

Q: When should I choose a gold mesh grid with Formvar/Carbon film over copper or nickel options?

A: Gold mesh grids are preferred when chemical inertness, non-corrosiveness, and high purity are crucialtypically for sensitive or high-value samples where contamination must be minimized. The combination of Formvar and carbon films further enhances mechanical stability and electron transparency.

Q: Where are these grids most commonly used and by whom?

A: These grids are used globally in research laboratories, universities, and core microscopy facilities for TEM analyses in material science, biology, and nanotechnology. They are the standard consumable for scientists requiring reliable sample support and imaging clarity.

Q: What is the process for preparing samples on these Formvar/Carbon-coated gold grids?

A: First, use forceps to place the grid onto a clean working surface. Deposit your sample onto the coated side, allow adequate drying or fixation, and load it into the TEM specimen holder. The smooth Formvar/Carbon coating ensures even support, minimizing sample loss during preparation.

Q: How does the surface quality of these grids impact electron microscopy results?

A: A wrinkle-free, smooth coating ensures samples remain flat and intact, reducing scattering and diffraction effects that could otherwise compromise image clarity and resolution. Uniformity across the grid enhances reproducibility between experiments.

Q: What are the key benefits of using a pack of 25 Formvar/Carbon-coated gold grids?

A: Each pack provides consistent, ready-to-use grids that meet international standards, allowing efficient workflow for multiple sample analyses. Bulk packaging helps maintain quality and cost-effectiveness for frequent laboratory use.
