pelco grid storage box

PELCO® Grid Storage Box

holds 50 transmission electron microscopy grids, compartments widely spaced for ease of use

Widely used compact grid box for 50 standard 3.05mm TEM grids with smoothly sliding clear plastic cover is matched to a tough, clean, self-lubricating base. The diamond-shaped grid compartments are designed to minimize awkward wrist or hand movements. The depth of the holes restricts grid movement when transported. The materials selected for the PELCO® Grid Box are static dissipative to avoid static charges on the grids. Dimensions: 77.5 x 41 x 9mm.

gilder grid storage box

Gilder Grid Box

for 100 Grids

Intended for use in both routine grid handling and long term grid storage. Holds 100 transmission electron microscopy grids. Each of the diamond shaped compartments will accept a standard 3.05mm grid. Each position has a letter and number molded into the surface of the box. To further ease grid handling, the plastics are anti-static treated. A central access position in the lid reduces the number of grids exposed when selecting any particular grid. Dimensions: 85 x 59 x 7mm.

Grid Storage Record Card
A record card is supplied free with each SB 100 grid box. The folding card has a durable coated exterior and the interior is suitable for writing with normal pen or pencil.

gilder grid compact storage box

Gilder Grid Compact Storage Box

These convenient smaller 25-grid storage boxes are for experiments that require fewer grids, for those users who prefer to have a separate grid box for each experiment or sample. Intended for both routine grid handling and long term storage, they also make a low cost alternative for multi-user facilities. The plastic material contains a special anti-static additive.

The ergonomic design of the grid box with side tabs to allow it to be firmly gripped on either side while sliding the cover back on the box to reveal the grids a row of five at a time provides easy access to your grids. Additionally one side tab has a matte finish that is ideal for notation with a Fine-tip Lab Marker.

MEM - Multi Purpose EM Grid Boxes

The MEM grid boxes incorporate a number of innovations for improved ease of use, more secure storage and integrated documentation.
grid being placed in a multi purpose em grid box
grid being placed in #161-32

Innovations integrated in the MEM grid boxes are:

  • "Tree" shaped TEM grid storage cavity virtually eliminates the chances of damaging the TEM grids - The grid storage cavity and the tweezers cavity have a separation wall so that the tweezers will only be able to grip the edge of the grids
  • The additional slider with a window between cover and grid storage box exposes only 4 grids at the time and prevents grids from falling or "jumping" out of the storage box.
  • Integrated grid storage record card inserted in a dedicated slot on the back of the MEM grid box.
  • The storage box body is made of white plastic providing good contrast. The cover lid and the slider with window are both made from clear plastic providing clear visibility.

There are two versions of the MEM grid boxes:
  • 161-96 - store up to 96 grids, size 81 x 54 x 10mm
  • 161-32 - store up to 32 grids and up to 8 blocks, size 81 x 54 x 14mm
  • US Patent #7619225

(#16179-1)

PELCO® TEM Grid Vacuum Desiccator

This robust PELCO® TEM Grid Vacuum Desiccator holds up to 50 TEM grids in the grid box with a rotary lid with a slot hole to prevent the rest of the grids from falling out. Storage under vacuum eliminates contamination or dust and is ideal to preserve hygroscopic samples. The use of durable, non-outgassing, anodized aluminum and Viton® O-rings makes it suitable for pumping down to 10-3 mbar. The desiccator is capable of holding vacuum for many months. The metal vacuum valve has a PTFE shaft seal. Use a small vacuum pump to evacuate. Vacuum connection for pump-down is a 1/4" (6.35mm) barb fitting. The desiccator comes with a standard clear acrylic lid. An optional quartz glass and clear anodized aluminum lid is available for where cleanliness is paramount.

  • Keeps TEM samples and calibration standards contamination free
  • Prevents oxidization of sensitive samples
  • Holds up to 50 TEM grids secured under lid
  • Acrylic disc for visibility
  • Optional quartz glass caps available
  • Ideal for storing, transporting and shipping

Overall size without vacuum valve is ø76 x 35mm (3 x 1.4").

Also available as a Pin Stub Vacuum Desiccator (#16179) or Vacuum Desiccator for Hitachi M4 Stubs (#16179-4).
