Product catalog summary
Overview: The ELMO© Glow Discharge system is designed for treating TEM grids to modify their surface properties, enhancing the adsorption of solutions. This system is based on J. Dubochet’s method and developed in collaboration with IGBMC and ICS laboratories.
Specifications:
  • Plasma current: 0 – 35 mA
  • Platform diameter: Ø 60 mm
  • Process time: 1 – 6000 seconds
  • Chamber size: Ø 80 mm x 60 mm H
  • Vacuum control: Pirani Gauge
  • Working vacuum range: 1.0 – 0.1 mbar
  • Operation mode: Manual & Programmed
  • Gaz inlets: Ø 6 mm
  • Instrument size: 480 x 310 x 320 mm
  • Weight: 12 kg
Vacuum Pump Specifications:
  • Displacement: 3.7 m3h-1 / 4.5 m3h-1
  • Ultimate pressure: 2.0 x 10-3 mbar
  • Motor power: 450 / 550 W
  • Nominal rotation speed: 1500/1800 rpm
  • Weight: 25 kg
  • Noise level: 48 dBA at 50 Hz
  • Operating temperature range: 12 – 40 °C
Benefits:
  • Enhances adsorption of aqueous solutions by making carbon film surfaces hydrophilic and negatively charged.
  • Maintains hydrophobic tendency with positive charge for adsorption of molecules like nucleic acids.
  • Quick and easy loading of films or grids.
  • Intuitive operation with real-time display of process parameters.
Applications:
  • Negative staining with uranyl acetate for viral capsids and other biological samples.
  • Rotary shadowing with platinum for DNA and chromatin studies.
  • Complex coacervation studies for therapeutic applications.
Features:
  • Dual vacuum Bell Jars to avoid cross-contamination.
  • Anti-implosion glass for easy cleaning and high security.
  • Accurate control of gas or liquid injection and vacuum using a Pirani gauge.
