    • Liquid TEM for Everyone

      The K-kit is a single-use sealable carrier with a microchannel inside.
      It is made by ultraprecise MEMS micromachining from silicon, with a silicon nitride window.
      It fits inside a standard TEM grid and thus into all commonly used TEM holders.

      The K-kit advantage:

      1. Affordable and easy-to-use
      2. No installation hassle
      3. Image nano-objects in native state, no drying artifacts
      4. Sealable carrier takes liquid sample directly to TEM
      5. Fits all common TEM holders
      6. Can preserve the sample for future re-examination

      Now you don’t need to invest tens and hundreds of thousands to see your liquid or wet TEM samples in their native state.
      If you have access to a TEM, you can do liquid TEM.

      Fill, Seal and Observe

      1. The K-kit is easy. Just touch the carrier to a drop of your liquid sample to have it drawn inside by capillary force.
      2. Seal ends with vacuum-proof Torr Seal® glue.
      3. Mount inside a standard grid for TEM.
