Easiglow Discharge Cleaning System

A Glow Discharge Cleaning System with specific gas atmosphere which will modify the surface properties of TEM support films and grids in order to optimize the adsorption of the solutions to spread.

All prices exclude VAT.

The EasiGlow is a compact, stand alone, easy to use discharge cleaning system primarily designed for surface modification of TEM support films. The system supports both hydrophilic and hydrophobic treatments for either a negative or positive charge and includes two separately controlled gas inlets.

Features

  • Precise and easy vacuum setting
  • Short cycle times
  • Consistent results
  • Auto, programmed and manual mode
  • Intuitive touch screen for display and operation
  • Supports hydrophilic/hydrophobic and negative/positive modes
  • Affordable, compact, stand-alone system
  • L-Gasket protects glass jar at base

The EasiGlow discharge unit features a specially designed glow discharge head, a sensible chamber size and an adjustable stage with glass slide holder, allowing easy loading and fast sample turnaround times. The system is microprocessor controlled and incorporates an intelligent touchscreen device allowing both full manual and automatic control of operation parameters. A soft venting procedure ensures that the TEM grids are not disturbed when the system is vented.

A vacuum pumping system, including connection kit, is also available.

Cryo EM kit AGB7361-Cryo

The Cryo EM kit is availablefor Cryo specific applications and features an attractive price. The kit includes:

  • AGB7363 GD4 Vacuum Pumping System, 3.6m3/hr. Inc connection kit. 230V 50/60Hz
  • AG9609 Exhaust Filter for AGB7363
  • AG91053 Protective L-Gasket
  • AG891-31 Ultra 19 Vacuum Pump Oil, 1 Litre
  • AG16820-25 TEM Grid Holder for 25 TEM Grids

Dual system AGB7361-DUO

For those labs which need both hydrophilic and hydrophobic surface treatments on a regular base, a dual glow discharge system is available to avoid cross contamination of the glow discharge chambers. Hydrophobic surfaces are preferable when organic solvents are used. The unit shares the same pumping system.
