Very powerful, handy tool for TEM and 2D material studies
Gentle oxygen plasma clean
A gentle oxygen (air) plasma clean tool, very easy to use. Very helpful to remove contamination/hydrocarbons for TEM samples. Also good for cleaning of 2D materials, including graphene.

The Evactron CombiClean features an integrated vacuum chamber for desktop cleaning of SEM samples and TEM sample holders. Remote Evactron in–situ cleaning of E-beam instruments such as SEMs and FIBs can be accomplished with a supplied second Plasma Radical Source (PRS). The Evactron PRS uses energy efficient capacitive coupled plasma rather than wasteful inductively coupled plasma to avoid energy loss through heat generation.
The Evactron CombiClean System is equipped with two cleaning ports for TEM sample holders and a top-loading chamber for SEM samples. The central location of the cleaning ports allows for simultaneous and uniform cleaning of both TEM holders.
The Evactron CombiClean chamber features the patented Safar TEM side loaders with a side-entry slot and locking mechanism. The loaders prevent any unwanted contact between the sample holder and the adapter during insertion and removal of the TEM holder. The Safar TEM side loaders are compatible with all TEM manufacturer’s sample rods.
The Evactron CombiClean System has an adjustable sample platform, allowing several samples to be cleaned simultaneously. It can also be used as an inert storage location for samples, specimens, and sample mounts when a nitrogen purge is performed to remove outgassing contaminants.
Specifications
The system features a microprocessor with embedded software to regulate a leak valve and control the chamber pressure by a MicroPirani gauge.
The microprocessor also regulates the RF power, has a clock to time the downstream plasma cleaning and nitrogen purging cycles, and records the operational and fault log.
Cleaning with the Evactron CombiClean System may be setup from either the front panel or a remote computer.
