Why plasma

The benefits of plasma

Plasma treatment removes nanoscale contamination and alters surface chemistry without affecting the bulk material properties.

  • Clean. Removes organic contamination at the nanoscale.
  • Activate. Improves wetting and bonding, such as PDMS to glass.
  • Gentle. Runs near ambient temperature, safe for heat-sensitive materials.
