MiniQ GD

• Robust touch panel
• Small footprint
• Automatic operation with minimal user intervention required
• Detachable chamber with implosion guard allowing for easy cleaning
• Pre-set profiles with single touch operation
• Supplied with 50 mm diameter sample stage with TEM grid holder
• Three different height settings provided to refine glow discharge processes
• Suitable for hydrophilic/ hydrophobic surfaces modification
• DC positive and negative electrode polarity settings available
• Adjustable glow discharge current settings

• Changing wettability of surfaces, primarily used for TEM grids to improve the spread of particles/ molecules on them , could also be used for SEM and AFM imaging when samples are applied onto substrate surfaces from liquid.
• Soft cleaning of surfaces
