Glow Discharge system for TEM grids Easy, Standalone, Compact

System based on J. Dubochet’s method implemented by J.C. Homo and developed in collaboration with the IGBMC and ICS laboratories. A Glow Discharge treatment with a specific gas atmosphere will modify the surface properties of TEM support films or grids in order to optimize the adsorption of the solutions to spread. HYDROPHILIC OR HYDROPHOBIC, NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE CHARGE WITHOUT GLOW DISCHARGE Low adsorption WITH GLOW DISCHARGE Optimized adsorption TEM grids with carbon support films. Courtesy : M. Decossas, CBMN, Pessac Surface Hydrophilic Hydrophobic Charge Positive Negative Positive Negative...

EASY Quick and easy loading of films or grids Intuitive operation with manual or programmed mode Real-time display of process parameters (current, vacuum, time) Glow discharge methods : hydrophilic or hydrophobic,negative or positive charge Accurate injection control of gaz or liquids Accurate vacuum control using Pirani gauge Dual vacuum Bell Jars to avoid cross contamination Soft venting (air or neutral gaz) using quick inlet fitting Anti-implosion glass for an easy cleaning and a high secured process APPLICATIONS WITH GLOW DISCHARGE IN AMYLAMINE Figure 3 : Negative staining with uranyl...
