TEM time is valuable. Why spend it on trial and error?
As an extension of our electrochemical E-chip series, we are introducing a new ex situ option: the Glass E-chip! Designed for electrochemical and battery research, these chips enable experiment optimization before committing valuable TEM time.
With identical dimensions to our standard E-chips, the Glass E-chips are made entirely of glass rather than silicon/silicon nitride. This means that they can be used in our ex situ electrochemical cell and observed directly under a light microscope. This allows clear visualization of gas evolution and reactions at all electrodes, allowing for optimization of new experiments.

Use Glass E-chips to streamline early-stage testing and parameter refinement:
- Fine-tune electrolyte composition, flow rate, and applied potential
- Visualize electrochemical reactions before operando measurements
- Observe gas formation across all electrodes
While not intended for TEM imaging, Glass E-chips are an essential tool for pre-optimization and workflow efficiency, helping you achieve more focused, productive in situ studies.

Glass E-chips are available now in the Protochips Store or Contact Us directly.
