Juncker: fluorosilane coated glass slide
Overview
How to prepare a fluorosilane coated glass slide. This coating is useful if hydrophobic surfaces are needed.
Author: Benjamin Robledo
Date: June 18, 2007
Version: 1.7
Materials
Reagents:
- Ethanol and acetone staining dishes.
- A couple of drops of Trichloro(1H, 1H, 2H, 2H - Perfluorooctyl)Silane, 97%.
- Distilled water.
Equipment:
- Glass slides to be coated.
- 2 Petri dishes.
- A set of tweezers
- Diamond-tip engraving pen
- Ultrasonic Bath.
- Nitrogen gun.
- Plasma chamber.
- Vaccum chamber.
Procedure
- Clean the glass slides to be coated following the Ultrasonic Bath protocol.
Mateu says 13:55, 17 June 2007 (EDT): In order to know which is the good side of your sample, write and R on the Rear of the slide with a diamond-tip engraving pen. - Bring the petri dish with the slides to the plasma chamber located in room B-2. Place the petri dish with the slides inside the plasma chamber for 30 seconds.
Ben says 14:10, 6 June 2007 (EDT): Make sure you know how to operate the plasma chamber before using it. - Place the petri dish with the slides on the vacuum chamber labeled "SILANES" along with another petri dish containing a 50 microl iters of Trichloro(1H, 1H, 2H, 2H - Perfluorooctyl) Silane, 97%.
Mateu says 14:17, 17 June 2007 (EDT): Use a pipette to transfer amount of the silane to the petri dish. After the transfer remove immediately the tip from the pipette in order to protect the pipette from the silane vapor - Turn on the vaccum pump for 5 minutes. Turn pump off a leave slides on vaccum for 30 minutes.
- Open vacuum chamber
- Put 3 drops of water on the petri dish that contains the silane in order to neutralize it
- Rinse the plastic petri dish with ethanol and dispose the silane-ethanol solution on the plastic bucket labelled "COMMON ORGANIC SOLVENTS".
- Your newly coated slides are now ready to use!! enjoy!!
- You can store your surfaces for long time. Protect your surface from the dust.
