From Tedpella.com: “For one of the most common glow discharge applications, making TEM support films or grids hydrophilic using air, the PELCO easiGlow™ uses an automated and quick cycle with fully selectable parameters. The microprocessor-controlled system also offers full manual control for all parameters and an advanced protocol programming feature for custom-designed glow discharge applications. Parameters and protocols can be stored to facilitate consistent glow discharge results.” 

“The PELCO easiGlow™ Glow Discharge Cleaning 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. Manufactured in the USA.” 

Key Features (from Tedpella.com): 

• Optimized for cleaning TEM grids
• Precise and easy vacuum setting 

• Short cycle times 
• Consistent results 
• Auto, programmed, and manual mode 
• Intuitive touch screen for display and operation
  
• Supports hydrophilic/hydrophobic and negative/positive modes 
• Affordable, compact, standalone system
