PELCO^® Gold Coated AFM Metal Specimen Discs

PELCO^® Gold Coated AFM Discs provide excellent substrates for mounting specimens due to their excellent resistance to electromigration, high electrical and thermal conductivity and high temperature operation properties. Gold is the most inert metal. Its adhesion to polymers is expected to be lower than that of other metals, however polymer irradiation with UV light and plasma discharge have been reported to enhance metal-polymer adhesion.

High quality gold coated magnetic stainless steel (alloy 430) discs for Atomic Force Microscopy are offered with smooth edges and consistently flat surfaces. The AFM discs are 22 gauge which is .0299" (0.76mm) with a range of .0269" to .0329" (0.68 to 0.84mm) thickness, coated with 1 micron of gold. The discs are supplied in PELCO^® AFM Disc Carriers. They are available in 10, 12, 15 and 20mm diameter.

PELCO^® AFM Disc Carriers & AFM Disc Pickup Tool

An inexpensive way to store 10, 12, 15 and 20mm discs in a dust-free environment. Discs are placed face down into a stepped cavity where the specimen is protected. The cavity allows for a maximum specimen height of 3.2mm (1/8"). They are retrieved by using the convenient PELCO^® AFM Disc Pickup Tool, comprised of a plastic handle, stainless steel shaft and a plastic composite magnetic pad on the tip. Fingers need not touch the disc. Sliding cover. Box size: 76.2 L x 40 W x 7.5 H (mm) (3" L x 1.58" W x .295" H)

PELCO^® AFM Disc Storage Boxes

The PELCO^® AFM Disk Storage Boxes have a single pole magnetic layer in the base of the box to store stainless AFM discs with 10, 12, 15 or 20mm diameter. Designed to sort and organize AFM samples and protect them from dust. These storage boxes are ideal for storing and transferring AFM samples in the lab. A marker pen can be used to write on the magnetic material to mark the sample positions. Samples can be lifted from the storage boxes using PELCO^® AFM Disk Grippers (shown below). Not ideal for shipping AFM samples. The PELCO^® Disk Carriers are better suited for shipping AFM disks.

Single storage box holds one AFM disc of either 10, 12, 15 or 20mm diameter. Inside measurements of the clear styrene box are 25.4 x 25.4 x 15.9mm (1" x 1" x 5/8"). Sold in packages of 5.

Small storage box holds up to 4 discs depending on size of the AFM discs. Inside measurements of the styrene box are 70 x 28 x 18mm (2-3/4" x 1-1/8" x 11/16"). Box has a clear lid and a blue base.

Large storage box holds up to 20 AFM discs depending on size of the AFM disks. Inside measurements of the styrene box are 152 x 51 x 18mm (6" x 2" x 11/16"). Box has a clear lid and a black base.
