Pelco easiGlow

The PELCO easiGlow™ Glow Discharge System is a compact, quick, and easy-to-use standalone system. It is primarily designed for cleaning TEM grids and hydrophilization of TEM carbon support films, which have the tendency to be hydrophobic. A glow discharge treatment with air will make a carbon film surface negatively charged (hydrophilic) which allows aqueous solutions to spread easily.
