OVERVIEW The GloQube®
Plus
Dual Chamber Glow Discharge System for TEM and Surface Modification
Plus is a compact, easy-to-use
glow discharge system primarily used for the hydrophilization (wetting) of TEM carbon support films and grids. Other applications include surface modifications, for example for enhancing polymer bonding.
The GloQube Plus has a convenient single drawer with two independent vacuum chambers: a clean chamber for glow discharge applications requiring hydrophobic/hydrophilic conversion and a vapour chamber designed for hydrophilic/hydrophobic (negative or positive) conversions.
FEATURES z Dual independent chambers
z Hydrophilic/hydrophobic and negative/positive modes
z Fully automatic, short process times z Intuitive touch screen control
z Safe vapor delivery using septum-sealed vials
z Automatic valving between chambers to prevent cross-contamination
z Quick and easy sample loading
z Controlled venting to prevent sample dis- turbance
z Consistent, reliable results z Three-year warranty
Unique Dual Chamber Processing, Safe Handling of Reagents
The GloQube Plus has two independent vacuum chambers: a clean chamber, designed for applications requiring hydrophobic/hydrophilic conversion, typically using air as the process gas; and a vapor chamber, designed for use with reagents such as methanol and alkylamine. With operator safety firmly in mind, reusable septum- sealed reagent vials are used. Loading and removing reagents is convenient and reliable – the vial, located in its holder, is inserted into a shielded needle using a simple bayonet fitting.
To prevent accidental damage, the high voltage lead is shielded. The plasma current is variable by adjustment of the vacuum level using an argon leak valve with the plasma voltage being preset. For maximum sputter coating efficiency, the gas injector system ensures that argon gas enters the chamber close to the plasma discharge. Venting is to argon.
