Insight Chips manufactures full liquid-cell systems for TEM, SEM and optical microscopy, entirely compatible & retrofittable with your current microscopes. The Nano Channel Chip makes it easier than ever to achieve high resolution imaging, reproducibly

THE NANO CHANNEL CHIP

We produce the Nano Channel Chips ourselves in the world-class clean room facility of DTU in Denmark.

All Nano Channel Chips are in principle very similar, but the thickness of liquid and membranes vary, as well as the channel pattern which can be optimized for liquid-area in the field of view or specific flow and mixing capabilities.

If we do not have the chips you need in stock, we’ll make them for you!
Adjust SiN thickness down to 10 nm and liquid thickness down to 20 nm – and let us design a nano channel flow structure that suits your need for mixing, flow, or maybe just having a large viewing area.

TEM HOLDER WITH 4-INLET FLOW CONTROL

This 4-inlet flow control holder makes the best use possible of the Nano Channel Chip, which also has four inlets.

Optional: Heating up to 150 C°
Recommended use with Fluigent pressure-based flow controller
Available for JEOL and Thermo Fisher TEMs
Possible to rent on a monthly basis!

The TEM flow holder has four inlet ports in the back which can be accessed to control flow and mixing during TEM experiments.Together with a Fluigent pressure-based flow control system, you can flow and mix to the full extent possible with the Nano Channel Chip.

Static TEM holder

This static holder is an extremely robust and easy-to-use TEM holder.It is the fastest and most reliable solution in the world when it comes to getting high-resolution imaging in liquid.Because there are no flow-tubes in this holder, it can be made much thinner and more narrow, to maximize alpha-tilting inside the TEM.

SEM/Optical Flow Holder

Over the last several years, we have been using our SEM / optical holder a lot more than our TEM holders! The reason is that it is very easy to use and enables us to “play” with our Nano Channel Chip until we find the correct procedure for preparing the sample and flow/mix it in the right way – before wasting precious and more demanding time on the TEM.

Excellent add-on for refining TEM experiments in optical before wasting precious TEM time
Easy to get started: Buy with credit card here

A lot of details can be observed in optical or SEM, and as long as atomic details are not required, it is an excellent way to start refining your experiment. And  a lot can actually be seen in optical. In dark-field optical microscope, it is possible to see particles down to 50 nm in size. And due to changes in the refractive index, it is possible to see if something precipitates in the nano channels. We therefore recommend starting with a SEM / optical holder or getting one as an add-on to your TEM holder, to save you precious time and make optimizing experimental setups a lot easier.

SEM/Optical static Holder

Compatibility with SEM: System can be taped to a SEM stage with carbon or cop-per tape.

Custom Chips

Insight Chips manufactures all of our chips and holders in-house, allowing us to develop extensive expertise in both areas.

We also run chip production batches every 2-3 months, which means you can place a custom order to be included in the next production cycle. For example, we have successfully produced Nano Channel Chips with fully customizable internal channel structures, tailored to different types of flow and mixing setups.

If you need assistance with clean room work, holder design, or fabrication, Insight Chips is here to help!

Add-ons

Our recommended setup add-ons in partnership with Fluigent & Pfeiffer.

Commissioned
research

We are experts in using our own equipment – so why not let us acquire preliminary results for you? Such results will help you clarify if you need to invest in an SEM or TEM holder and will aid in obtaining the needed grants.
