Sample Preparation
Plasma treatment is essential in sample preparation across various scientific fields. It effectively cleans surfaces by removing organic contaminants, leaving behind a pristine, reactive surface ideal for subsequent procedures. This is crucial in applications like coating, bonding, or modifying material surfaces, ensuring enhanced adhesion and consistency. Plasma treatment also introduces functional groups to surfaces, which is beneficial for applications requiring precise chemical modifications. By improving surface energy and cleanliness, plasma treatment enhances the reliability and accuracy of experimental results, making it a vital step in preparing samples for advanced analysis and research.
