Description Tech Data

Product Description

The K-kit is an easy-to-use, innovative sample holder for liquid specimens. It is a single-use sample holder with a sealable micro-channel between two silicon nitride membranes. Manufactured from silicon with Si₃N₄ membranes, the K-kit is compatible with most standard TEM holders.

The K-kit advantage:

Affordable and easy-to-use
No installation hassle
Image nano-objects in native state, no drying artefacts
Sealable carrier takes liquid sample directly to TEM
Fits all common TEM holders
Can preserve the sample for future re-examination

Fill, seal and observe:

Included in the K-kit Complete Toolbox: 1 x Sample Loading Stand, 1 x Holder, 1 x Needle Pen, 1 x Gluing Stand, 1 x pack of 6 glass slides, 1 x Accessory Box (contains sealing and mounting glues, stirring sticks, and miscellaneous spare parts for the tools), and 1 x 4-pack of single-use 0.2µm K-kit carriers.
