DESCRIPTION

300 mesh copper lacey grids available with 4 thicknesses of CVD graphene. Graphene coverage of the TEM grid is better than 75%. Supplied as a pack of 6 in rotary storage grid box. 

Graphene oxide membranes are robust and almost transparent under an electron beam, making them ideal supports for the analysis of a wide range of samples by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). As produced, they are hydrophilic but this can readily be tuned as required. The graphene oxide membranes give a crystalline diffraction pattern similar to graphene and this structure acts as a convenient calibration for electron diffraction and high resolution TEM. Their ultra-low contrast makes them particularly useful for imaging small nanoparticles or nanowires whose structure is not readily resolvable on conventional carbon supports [1]. They can also be used for imaging and analysis of polymeric, macromolecular and biological samples without the need for heavy metal staining [2].

Graphene oxide support grid morphology: the graphene oxide membranes are deposited on lacey carbon supports. Monolayer graphene oxide membranes can span the holes in the lacey carbon. The graphene oxide sheets are distributed randomly across the EM grids such that some holes in the lacey carbon support are uncovered, some covered by a single monolayer of graphene oxide, and some by two or more layers of graphene oxide. On average, roughly half to three quarters of the lacey carbon holes are spanned by graphene oxide and of those roughly half are monolayer.

Structure and composition of graphene oxide: graphene oxide is composed of a graphene like sheet randomly decorated with oxygen functional groups such as epoxy and hydroxyl. Due to its graphene-like carbon backbone, graphene oxide is strong enough to span the holes in a lacey carbon support even when only a monolayer thick. The graphene oxide is synthesized from graphite powder using a modified Hummers’ method.

Use of graphene oxide grids for TEM imaging and diffraction: The ferritin was deposited from aqueous solution by placing a drop on the graphene oxide coated TEM grid and allowing it to dry. As produced, the graphene oxide is hydrophilic. However, this can readily be changed by heating in air if a hydrophobic surface is required. The crystalline graphene backbone gives a characteristic diffraction pattern which can be used as a convenient calibration for the analysis of other samples either by high resolution TEM or electron diffraction.

Identifying the graphene oxide membranes: one monolayer thick the graphene oxide is almost transparent under the electron beam and so is often only apparent through wrinkles or creases in the film. Overlapping sheets are also readily visible. The most distinctive way of identifying monolayer thick regions is from the diffraction pattern: a single layer has a hexagonal diffraction pattern similar to graphene whilst multiple layers are usually in different orientations so that multiple rotationally misaligned hexagonal patterns are observed in the diffraction pattern. However, this can also be caused by creases in a single sheet so some care must be taken with this interpretation.

PAYMENT & DELIVERY

Payment Policy

Our eStore allows customers to pay for their order by prepaid methods like debit & credit card, paypal or prepaid invoice via a bank transfer and through postpaid net 30 days invoice. If you wish to pay by card or paypal, you don’t need to communicate with us first and you can also check out as guest. If you wish to pay by prepaid bank transfer, you will have to register a MyOI account first, then request to ecommerceteam@estore.oxinst.com to activate prepaid bank transfer (Proforma invoice) on your MyOI account.

If you wish to pay by net 30 days invoice, you will have to request this when you register a MyOI account. Please be aware that only customers with previous business with Oxford Instruments will be authorised to pay by net 30 day invoice. You can explain your previous business with Oxford Instruments when you register your MyOI account. If your institution or company doesn’t have any previous business relationship with Oxford Instruments, you will be asked to place at least 3 prepaid orders through the eStore before we can consider your request.

If your institution or company has a special arrangement with Oxford Instruments, please get in touch with ecommerceteam@estore.oxinst.com providing information about your contact person in Oxford Instruments

Our eStore is managed by our ecommerce partner Modus Link. This means that on the e-invoice, you will see both the ModusLink and Oxford Instruments logos. If you wish to pay by net 30 day invoice, you will have to send us a PO with ModusLink as supplier, because the invoice will have to be paid into ModusLink’s bank account, so we need to make sure ModusLink is a registered vendor in your system and payment won’t be delayed.

If you need to register ModusLink as supplier, please feel free to send to ecommerceteam@estore.oxinst.com any documents and we will help you and fill it for you.
