Please contact our Technical Support Team at 1-888-593-5969 / tech@biolynx.ca for additional information

• Consistent Topography - Gold on chips remains ultraflat until stripped from the mica or silicon wafer template.


• Uncontaminated Surface - Gold on chips is protected from atmospheric hydrocarbons until stripped from the template, and when used immediately upon stripping, provides a pristine surface uncontaminated by organics.


• Ready to Use - Chips do not require cleaning prior to use, thus eliminating the need for caustic piranha cleaning solution or expensive cleaning equipment.


• Convenient - Multiple chips per template make it easy to prepare fresh, clean, and ultraflat chips just seconds before your next experiment.

Choose between chips stripped from a gold-coated atomically flat, cleaved mica template or chips stripped from a gold-coated prime grade silicon wafer template.
