A Technological Breakthrough
lAttain EM-level imaging of wet samples l Eliminate artifacts & time-consuming sample preparation l Achieve reliable, reproducible & quantifiable results
Electron Microscopy Sciences and Quantomix have joined forces here in The United States to market and sell the breakthrough solutions of Quantomix’s proprietary WETSEM™
Technology.
This technology enables scanning electron microscopes (SEM) to image and analyze wet samples such as cells, tissue biopsies, foods and ink, in their native environment. Eliminating the need for time-consuming preparation procedures, the WETSEM™
Technology ensures that
sample integrity is not compromised by artifacts. QuantomiX innovative technology opens new opportunities for application specific tools to improve drug discovery, and advances treatment and diagnostic solutions for the medical and pharmaceutical markets.
Applications
l Lipid Imaging and Analysis l Airborne Particles l Experimental Biology l Pathogen characterization
l Subcellular organelles, cytoskeleton and motility, cell contacts, receptor distribution, extracellular matrix, tissue analysis
l Industrial applications: food, oils, dyes, pharmaceuticals
l Clinical diagnosis: Histopathology, cytology, oncology
l Tissue engineering, implants and prostheses. l Quality Control/Quality Assurance
WETSEM™ Technology
Electron Microscopy (EM) is a prime tool for high-resolution imaging, which has been the cornerstone of our understanding of living organisms and our material environment.
The revolutionary technology of QuantomiX solves the problem of preparing wet samples for high-resolution imaging. It closes the resolution gap between conventional electron microscopy and light microscopy and offers the convenient sample preparation of light microscopy.
For the first time, rapid and routine EM imaging of biological samples in a wet environment is now possible without the artifacts normally associated with sample preparation.
Concept The New QX capsule completely isolates wet samples from the vacuum in the microscope chamber. This makes possible the imaging of fully hydrated samples- including food, cosmetics, ink, human, animal, plant, and microbial cells, tissues, and fluids-at resolutions unachievable with light microscopy.
The QX capsule fits the standard SEM specimen stage.
The capsule combines the function of a specimen holder, cell culture dish, or a tissue specimen holder with an electron transparent, vacuum tight window. This unique receptacle permits electron microscopy of samples held in water or any other liquid medium at atmospheric pressure.
Imaging of samples in the QX capsule can be accomplished with backscattered electron detection, x-ray detection, or light detection, to reveal structure as well as material composition.
