Newest Products from SPI Supplies

Engrave test tubes, bottles, racks, keys, equipment, tools, electronics and more. Simply hold the Engraving Tool like a pen, press the power button, apply light pressure, and ?write' to permanently mark most materials including glass, plastic, wood, metal, bone, and stone.

Freeze and Process tiny tissue samples within a microcentrifuge tube. Stainless steel mortar has a welded fixture to hold a 1.5ml microcentrifuge tube. The mortar is suspended above a stainless steel cavity which holds the liquid nitrogen and is nested in a heavily insulated blue polyethylene housing.

The Gentle Mill series of Technoorg has been designed for final polishing, easy cleaning and improving of samples previously treated in standard high-energy ion mills or FIB columns. Gentle Mill models are recommended to users who want to prepare.

• artifact-free and
• almost damage-free

The SC-1000 model is equipped both with high- and low-energy ion sources. Rapid slope cutting with the high-energy ion gun followed by gentle surface cleaning with the low-energy ion gun provides cross-sectional SEM samples suitable for semiconductor failure analysis and other analytical purposes. The system also provides an ion milling based solution for improving and cleaning of mechanically polished SEM samples and preparation of damage-free surfaces for EBSD technique.

TEMVu™ slides allow you to prepare your TEMwindow grid for light and fluorescence microscopy prior to performing TEM. Each slide has one TEMwindow grid supported on a 300 micron silicone gasket which is bonded to a No. 1 1/2 cover glass. The TEM grid will not float away when when submerged with water or aqueous buffer, but can easily be removed afterward with standard tweezers.

Silicon Dioxide ultrathin film TEM grids offer high resolution imaging of prepared samples. Nanometer thick films have minimal electronic interference and provide lower background signal than comparable carbon grids. This allows for a clearer resolution of an imaged samples.

SPI Supplies has introduced a line of small, easy to use shakers, mixers, centrifuges and hotplates / stirrers. All products are available is 110V or 220V for use worldwide.

The SPI Supplies Vacu Prep II is a fast, clean, high vacuum bench top evaporator with simple automated operation for evaporation or sputtering. It utilizes solid state electronics to control the pump down, evaporation and venting sequences. Safe, reliable and easy to maintain, the Vacu Prep II can be used for routine carbon coating or the evaporation of various metals and materials.

The SmoothRack ia an all purpose rack and it eliminates an old irritation factor.

The SmoothRack gives you a more pleasant test tube rack experience, and we think it will prove to be the preferred choice! The SmoothRack is a better rack. The SmoothRack is the only test tube rack you will ever need!

UltraSM^® Silicon Membrane grids are available in both solid thin films and perforated amorphous films. The thin membrane films (under 20nm) are stable, enabling a wide range of applications and creating numerous opportunities in broad fields requiring size-based or charge-based separation of ions, molecules, or other nanoscale objects.

The PEAK ABC Lupe is a precision folding lupe, consisting of A. lens (12x) B. lens (#3X) and C. lens (6X). With these there lenses combined, seven kinds of magnifying power are available

MicroHeat™ Model MH 2 is a heat-stabilzed, small table with power supply designed for embedding samples and thermoplastic gluing under stereooptical microscope.

MicroPol Model MC2 is a compact, electronically controlled, precise mechanical specimen grinder/polisher designed for planar grinding, dimpling, thinning and polishing of specimens in the fields of nanotechnology, semiconductors and materials science. The parameters of polishing (speed, load, time, etc.) can be matched according to the properties of the specimen. High quality samples are prepared with minimal effects by the operator.

MicroSaw™ Model MS 3 is a small, versatile diamond wheel saw, to be mounted under a standard laboratory microscope. The precision offered by such an optical alignment makes MicroSaw ideal for cutting and sectioning required during the TEM specimen preparation.

Titanium Disc Embedding Ring is used in embedding cross sections is greatly simplified, since the samples do not need to be glued together prior to embedding. In order to fix the sample(s) in the ring it is deformed mechanically by an appropriate tool at the two points marked by the arrows. This deformation will both hold the sample in the ring and press both sample pieces together before gluing.

The La Petite Glove Box is comprised of essentially only two components. The top and bottom are sealed using a revolutionary new gel used in the clean room industry. The unit is only two-thirds the size of our "Basic Glove Box", SPI # 18003-AB and 18005-AB. The La Petite Glove Box is designed to be ergonomically correct for the average person.

The Compact Glove Box is designed specifically for use in hazardous situations where materials to be weighed must be contained. The chamber is ideal for determining the dry weight or moisture content of aqueous solutions, adhesives, cereals, toxic chemicals, pharmaceuticals, paper, plastics, and light radioactive materials. It minimizes product degradation caused by moisture absorption. The Compact Glove Box is beneficial when working with toxic substances, asbestos fibers, sewage residue, and harmful liquid vapors. For use with analytical balances, top loaders, bench scales and/or moisture analyzers.
