Nano-Reactor

The revolutionary Climate Nano-Reactor has been redesigned to make every aspect of your in situ TEM workflow streamlined.

Easy sample preparation

Directly deposit catalyst nanoparticles samples onto the Nano-Reactor using drop casting techniques.

Optimized EDS top chips

Engineered top chips combined with the holder’s exceptional stability allow for elemental maps to be acquired within a relatively short period of time. 

Crossing the pressure gap

The Nano-Reactors unique construction can withstand pressures up to 2 mbar, allowing you to study catalysts under industrially relevant conditions. 

Micro-heater

Proven MEMS technology delivers superior performance in temperature accuracy, reliability and stability around 10 electron transparent windows.

Calorimetry

Assess catalyst activity through measurement of heat dissipation and absorption, thus providing powerful structure-activity relationships.

Additional Modular Details

Gas Supply Systems

By integrating all control functions into a single platform with a small and mobile footprint, managing your in situ TEM experiment becomes a breeze. Programmed by Impulse Software, the user has full control over reproducible experiments via an intuitive user interface.

  • Ultra-fast flow control unit
    Change gas conditions in the sample area takes less than 15 seconds.
  • Twin pressure controllers
    Perform experiments at equal pressure and different flow rates or at equal flow rates and varied pressures.
  • Patent-protected mixing valve
    This innovation eliminates the need for a mixing tank and makes changing the gas composition within the Nano-Reactor happen within seconds.
  • Dynamic mixing up to three gasses
    The Gas Supply System can mount up to three 10-L gas cylinders that are connected to inlets attached to calibrated mass flow controllers.

Modular Sample Holder

The Climate in situ sample holder provides a platform for connecting the Gas Supply System to the sealed Nano-Reactor inside the vacuum of the TEM. Fabricated with the highest precision techniques, the holder will fit seamlessly into the microscope’s goniometer.

Alpha tilt range depends on system.  Up to ± 21° (depending on polepiece) with JEOL and up to ± 35° (depending on polepiece) with Thermo Fisher Scientific.

  • Exchangeable tubing & removable tip

    A modular design allows each component to be cleaned or replaced, ensuring each new experiment is free from cross-contamination. 

  • Mechanical stability

    Achieve atomic resolution in TEM and STEM in static and flow modes. Achieve a drift rate lower than 0.5 nm/min depending on microscope configuration.

  • Upgrade benefits

    Easily upgrade to the latest generation components, ensuring your research is always at the forefront of what is possible with in situ TEM.

Gas Analyzer

The Gas Analyzer is designed to work seamlessly with the Climate system to enable real time analysis of reaction products and transforming your experiment into an operando TEM workflow.
