A compact, easy-to-use, fully automated glow discharge system. The two chambers enable the user maximum flexibility to choose which sample preparation technique they want to use: glow discharge in-air or in-chemical vapour, without downtime for cleaning or the risk of contamination and loss of samples.

The GloQube ® Plus has a a single door with two independent vacuum chambers and adjustable sample stages. The in-air chamber is for simple glow discharge hydrophilic applications, while the in-vapour chamber is designed for hydrophobic (negative or positive) conversions, typically using reagents such as methanol and amylamine. The automatic valve system allows greater control over the introduction of chemical vapour into the chamber.

Each of the twin chambers can accommodate two 25 x 75 mm glass microscope slides or TEM grid holders. The stages are height adjustable and fitted with removable glass slide holders. The door and stages can be completely removed for convenience and to allow easy access for chamber cleaning.
