Gentle, effective hydrocarbon removal for cleaner SEM and TEM imaging UV-based cleaning with no need for chemicals or gas supplies Fast, damage-free removal of hydrocarbon contamination Touchscreen interface with recipe memory for ease and repeatability Dual function: clean and store samples in one device Vacuum-controlled cleaning to suit a range of sample types Overview Hydrocarbon contamination is one of the most common barriers to high-quality SEM and TEM imaging. Whether introduced during sample preparation or built up during imaging, these carbon-based residues can obscure fine details, distort data, and waste valuable time. The Hitachi ZoneSEM II and ZoneTEM II UV-based Sample Cleaners provide a safe, efficient, and chemical-free way to remove this contamination - right at your lab bench. Using low-energy UV light and activated oxygen, these compact devices gently clean your samples without damaging delicate structures or altering surface properties. Features and benefits The ZoneSEM II and ZoneTEM II cleaners use UV lamps to break down hydrocarbon bonds. In the presence of oxygen, the wavelengths used generate ozone and reactive oxygen species that oxidize hydrocarbons into volatile compounds like CO2 and H2O - safely removing them without solvents, reagents, or gas supplies. The integrated pump provides an adjustable vacuum, giving users control over cleaning intensity. So you're able to optimize the process depending on your sample. A user-friendly touchscreen interface makes it simple to select and run cleaning protocols. With recipe memory, you can save and recall process settings - ideal for labs with multiple users or routine workflows.
