SEM Conductive Adhesives
In paint, paste, or spray form, SEM conductive adhesives are essential for conductive solutions and sample preparation in laboratories.
We offer various types of SEM conductive adhesives, each with specific characteristics.
Conductive Tapes
These tapes are coated with conductive adhesives on both sides and are primarily used to secure samples to microscopy slides, as well as to create electrical connections between components.
Carbon Adhesives
Ted Pella’s carbon adhesives are available in different forms, such as pastes, tapes, and liquids.
They conduct electricity and are designed to bond samples to microscope mounts or for making electrical connections.
Conductive Silver Paints and Pastes
These products contain silver particles, providing high electrical conductivity. They can be applied precisely to the desired surfaces.
Carbon Paste and Conductive Glues
These serve as alternatives to silver-based adhesives, offering good electrical conductivity with the added advantages of lower cost and reduced risk of contamination in certain applications.
Features
- High Conductivity: Ted Pella's adhesives are designed to maintain high and stable electrical conductivity.
- Easy Application: Available in formats that allow for easy application, such as tapes, pastes, and liquids.
- Low Contamination: Formulated to minimize the introduction of contaminants that could interfere with precise analysis in electron microscopy.
Applications
- Sample Fixation: Ensures that samples remain firmly in place during analysis, which is crucial for obtaining clear and precise images.
- Charge Minimization: In electron microscopy, charge buildup on non-conductive samples can distort images. Conductive adhesives help dissipate this charge.
- Electrical Connections: In certain experiments, creating an electrical connection between the sample and analysis equipment is necessary, which conductive adhesives facilitate.
