The liquid interfaces are very active and important for environmental, biological, and industrial processes. However, most surface analysis instrument are vacuum based and the rapid liquid evaporation makes in-situ analyzing liquid surface extreme challenge. Wet Cell II offers a simple solution for scientists and researchers to directly analysis of liquids at the molecular level in a vacuum environment with minor cost. As a lab-on-a-chip device, Wet Cell II can be straightforwardly adaptable to many different analytical platforms, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). Wet Cell II requires little or no sample preparation and only consumes a few drops of liquid. Typical applications include microbiology, liquid surface chemistry, drug delivery & reaction, and energy storage, etc.
