Self-assembly in Nano Channel Chips with Traps Observed in Liquid-cell TEM
A while ago, we introduced our new Nano Channel >Trap< Chips, designed to simplify trapping particles precisely where we want them inside our Nano Channel Chips.

Precise flow control of nano particle solution in Nano Channel Chips using hydrostatic pressure
In this blog we show how particles can be controlled inside the Nano Channel Chips simply by manually lifting the inlet and outlet reserviours up and down, creating a very small change in hydrostatic pressure across the nano channels.

Thickness of the liquid sample
The thickness of the liquid sample is crucial for obtaining a good resolution TEM image, and so is having the right thickness of the Nano Channels.
