Agar Scientific, a leading supplier of microscopy
accessories and consumables, announces new products from the SIMPore range of
precision membranes for electron microscopists.
Agar Scientific is a market leader in the supply of high quality accessories to
assist with sample preparation for electron microscopy. As applications become
more challenging, the sample preparation process has to be rapid, accurate,
consistent and reproducible.
SIMPore makes the world's thinnest and most permeable nanoporous membranes
which enable the saving of time, money and resources. In contrast, with
conventional membranes, UltraSM® membranes are the ideal sieve for biomolecules
and other nanomaterials. Empowering nanotechnology, SiMPore brings
sophistication and elegance to membrane science.
For example, TEMVu
TM slides allow users to prepare TEMwindow grids for light and
fluorescence microscopy prior to performing TEM. Each slide has one TEMwindow
grid supported on a 300 micron silicone gasket which is bonded to a No. 1 1/2
cover glass. The TEM grid will not float away when submerged with water or
aqueous buffer, but can easily be removed afterward with standard tweezers.
Removable slide cap reduces evaporation during light microscopy imaging. The
main applications are for fluorescent nanoparticle imaging and live cell
imaging/staining prior to TEM study.
Other key new products include grids made from a variety of materials including
silicon, silicon dioxide and silicon nitride. They come in a range of useful
sizes. The 5nm silicon and silicon nitride supports are the thinnest available
significantly thinner than commercially available carbon grids. Each material
provides significant benefits for resolution and robustness in use to meet
differing user needs.
