Glow Discharge Cleaning Systems
Ted Pella provides a range of Glow Discharge Cleaning Systems to support our customers across a variety of different industrial applications. Glow discharge cleaning systems serve various purposes in different laboratory settings. In electron microscopy, researchers use these systems to prepare TEM grids by making carbon films hydrophilic, ensuring even spreading of aqueous samples and preventing agglomeration.
Glow Discharge Cleaning Systems play a crucial role in preparing TEM grids and other surfaces for high-resolution imaging. Offering a compact and user-friendly solution for modifying the wettability of carbon films on TEM grids and effectively cleaning them. By using a glow discharge process, you can make carbon film surfaces hydrophilic, allowing aqueous solutions to spread evenly and preventing agglomeration. This process is vital for electron microscopy applications, where clean and consistent quality TEM grids are necessary for accurate imaging.
Furthermore, automated features and a practical chamber size make glow discharge systems ideal for multi-user facilities. Which offers quick turnaround times and consistent results. The system’s ability to store custom protocols ensures repeatable and reliable glow discharge treatments. Which makes it an indispensable tool for researchers and professionals in electron microscopy.

PELCO easiGlow
The PELCO easiGlow Glow Discharge Cleaning System by Ted Pella offers a compact, quick, and easy-to-use solution for TEM labs. Designed primarily for cleaning TEM grids and hydrophilizing TEM carbon support films. The system addresses the hydrophobic nature of carbon films. By applying a glow discharge treatment with air, the system makes carbon film surfaces negatively charged (hydrophilic), allowing aqueous solutions to spread easily. Manufactured in the USA, the easiGlow™ ensures high-quality performance.
With the increasing demands of imaging applications, maintaining clean and consistent quality TEM grids and supports has become crucial. The PELCO easiGlow™ effectively removes adsorbed hydrocarbons from TEM grids, cleaning them while making them hydrophilic. This affordable and user-friendly system is ideal for any TEM lab.
PELCO easiGlow Key Features
- The practical chamber size, combined with a newly designed glow discharge head and adjustable stage with a glass slide holder, allows for easy loading and fast turnaround times.
- Fully microprocessor-controlled, the system features an intelligent touchscreen device for controlling and displaying operation parameters.
- The PELCO easiGlow™ supports both hydrophilic and hydrophobic treatments with either negative or positive charges and includes two separately controlled gas inlets.
- An electronically controlled precision proportional valve sets the required vacuum level, eliminating the need for manual adjustments with a needle valve.
- A gentle venting procedure ensures that TEM grids remain undisturbed during venting.
