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.
