Chip maintenance and loading solutions. (a) The chip-drying station for quick drying of the chips after cleaning. (b) The glow-discharge holder, which holds Kapton masks and chips together during the glow-discharge process. (c) The storage box for safe and easy transportation of the fragile chips. (d) The chip-loading block allows efficient loading of crystalline slurries by providing a convenient vacuum seal between the polished stainless steel surface and the chip. (e) The nine-channel pipette adapter connects a conventional 1000 µl micropipette with nine 200 µl pipette tips. This allows for an increased homogeneity of the dispensed crystal slurry on the chip surface.
