sciTEM

Product catalog summary

Product Overview: The sciTEM is an advanced liquid handling system designed for high-throughput sample preparation in Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). It allows for the deposition of up to 96 different liquid samples onto a single SEM/TEM support, making it ideal for nanoparticle characterization.

Key Features:

Non-contact, drop-on-demand piezo dispensing technology for volumes as low as 100 pL.
Compatible with a wide range of SEM/TEM supports and capable of depositing samples on fragile films without damage.
High precision drive system enabling sample placement as close as 100 µm apart.
Image recognition technology for precise grid placement and deposition location detection.
Intuitive touchscreen software for easy operation with minimal user interaction.

Technical Specifications:

Dispense volume: 50-800 pL per drop.
Capillary orifice: 50-100 µm.
Capillary material: Borosilicate glass.
Typical spot size: 80-250 µm, application-dependent.
Capacity: 1 source plate (microplate) and 1 target sticky holder for up to 25 SEM/TEM supports.
Dimensions: 650 x 750 x 725 mm, weight 95 kg.
Voltage: VAC 110 or 220.

Sample Preparation Process:

Nanoparticle suspensions are loaded onto the sciTEM deck using a 96-well microtiter plate.
TEM grids are selected based on nanoparticle nature and wettability, then placed in the target area.
The optical control system detects grid orientation and position.
Samples are aspirated and deposited onto the support surface in volumes of approximately 100 pL.
The process is repeated for each sample, creating an indexed pattern of singlet, duplicate, or triplicate spots.

Services & Support:

Training for operation and maintenance.
Service contracts with on-site support within 48 hours.
Application development and hotline/online support.

Conclusion: The sciTEM system significantly enhances the throughput of TEM/SEM analysis by allowing multiple samples to be deposited on a single support. This capability reduces the number of loading/unloading cycles required, enabling more efficient and cost-effective experimentation.
