PELCO easiGlow cryo-em glow discharge set, 230V
For one of the most common glow discharge applications, making TEM support films or grids hydrophilic using air, the PELCO easiGlow uses an automated and quick cycle with fully selectable parameters. The microprocessor controlled system also offers full manual control for all parameters and an advanced protocol programming feature for custom designed glow discharge applications. Parameters and protocols can be stored to facilitate consistent glow discharge results. Open the shipping box, plug it in, and you can start.
Features:
- Optimised for cleaning TEM grids
- 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, standalone system
The PELCO easiGlow Glow Discharge Cleaning System is a compact, quick and easy to use standalone system. It is primarily designed for cleaning TEM grids and hydrophilisation of TEM carbon support films, which have the tendency to be hydrophobic. A glow discharge treatment with air will make a carbon film surface negatively charged (hydrophilic) which allows aqueous solutions to spread easily. Manufactured in USA.
PELCO has created a bundle including all items needed for a typical glow discharge setup in a cryo-EM lab. Set includes:
- PELCO easiGlow unit
- Vacuum pump with all accessories
- Rubber gasket to protect the glass chamber edge
- PELCO Grid Holder Block
