Prof. Dr. Sascha Schäfer

Regensburg University

"The unique wafer-bonded design of your chip reliably defines water film thickness, enabling reproducible experiments." - July 2024

Dr. Aeron Tynes Hammack

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

"The Nano Channel Chips have enabled my research group to test up to eight different samples with different liquids ranging from organic solvents to biologically materials in aqueous solution over the course of just a few hours." - November 2024

Professor Jungwon Park

Professor at Seoul National University

“Using the Nano Channel Chips from Insight Chips, we were able to achieve reliable imaging of various nanoparticle samples—including metal nanoparticles and quantum dots—regardless of solvent type. The chips enabled consistent sample loading and stable liquid thickness across different sample conditions, which was critical for high-quality liquid-phase TEM imaging.”

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Marc-Georg Willinger

Professor and Chair for Electron Microscopy, TUM

"This system is fantastic!" - March 2025

Dr. Patricia Abellan

CNRS, Nantes University

"The control of thickness is crucial for any comparative study or quantitative analysis in liquid cell electron microscopy. The chip is easy and quick to load, which is essential for working with samples sensitive to air in a glove box and for processes that are time-sensitive." - July 2024

Dr. Haoyuan Qi

Ulm University, Germany

“The reliability and reproducibility of the liquid-cell chips, as well as the ease of implementation in every laboratory, will undoubtedly bring LC-TEM to a brand-new level” – February 2023

Dr. Andy Stewart

Facility Manager, University College London

"In my opinion the best liquid TEM experience, in terms of usability and ease of use, currently available” - November 2022

Remarkably different

Fast, easy, reproducible. The Nano Channel Chip is the first monolithic liquid-cell for TEM and SEM.

The Nano Channel Chip is an innovative piece of technology that has been designed to streamline complex laboratory procedures. One of the key benefits of the Nano Channel Chip is its ease of use. The chip is incredibly simple to set up and can be used by anyone, regardless of their level of experience.
