Key Features

  • Short in-air cycle time
  • Second chamber for separating in-air and in-vapour processes
  • No cross-contamination between chambers due to post-process flush cycle
  • Automatic vapour delivery ensures reliable and reproducible results
  • Purge cycles reduce water vapour and oxygen concentrations, ensuring excellent yield of specifically orientated macromolecules
  • Adjustable slow vent time to minimize sample disturbance
  • Optional fast vent for rapid process times
  • Safe handling of reagent
  • Three level adjustable height sample stage ensures repeatable results

Details

The GloQube® Plus is a cost-effective, compact and easy to use glow discharge system, designed to fulfil the needs of laboratories with TEM. The primary application of the GloQube® Plus is to modify the surface of TEM grids in a way that it meets requirements for successful imaging of a variety of macromolecules. Integrated into one system, the two chambers enable the user maximum flexibility to choose which sample preparation technique they want to use: glow discharge in-air or in-chemical vapour, without downtime for cleaning or the risk of contamination and loss of samples.

  • Hydrophilisation and cleaning of TEM grids carbon support films for better sample spreading
  • Improved adhesion and orientation of proteins, nucleic acids and antibodies
  • TEM grid preparation for nanoparticle studies
