The Model 9020 Vacuum Pumping Station allows for the simultaneous vacuum storage of up to five plasma-cleaned specimens and TEM specimen holders. It includes a heavy duty metal base, five Model 9010 Vacuum Storage Containers, a vacuum pumping manifold, and all of the necessary components for connection to the Model 1020 Plasma Cleaner and the Model 1070 NanoClean.

The Vacuum Storage Containers are individually valved to facilitate specimen holder insertion and removal from the Vacuum Pumping Station. Precision valves ensure vacuum integrity for prolonged periods. The Vacuum Storage Container is typically evacuated through the use of the Model 1020 Plasma Cleaner or the Model 1070 NanoClean. The specimen portion of the TEM specimen holder can be directly observed through a sight glass. An aluminum outer housing provides a high degree of protection to the specimen holder, enabling the safe storage of specimen holders under clean, vacuum conditions.

The Vacuum Pumping Station assembly includes the customer's choice of five types of Vacuum Storage Containers. The customer may choose Vacuum Storage Containers from different manufacturers, e.g., three Thermo Fisher Scientific containers and two JEOL containers, or four Hitachi containers and one Zeiss container.
