C-clip Bottoming Tool

The Nanosoft C-clip Bottoming Tool provides an easier and more efficient way to “bottom” the C-clip at the tip of the barrel of a clipping tool prior to clipping. After pressing the c-clip into the barrel of the tool, instead of pressing the tip of the barrel against the tabletop or a pair of tweezers to push the c-clip to the tip of the barrel (by pressing the plunger), you place the barrel into the Bottoming Tool and press the plunger of the tool to bottom the c-clip.

The cylinder of the Bottoming Tool ensures that the barrel of the clipping tool is straight, so upon pressing of the plunger to push the c-clip to the tip you are much less likely to “mis-bottom” the c-clip. Often when pressing the tip against the table top or another flat surface, you are not able to hold the barrel exactly straight again the surface and you the c-clip can fly out of the tool and is lost. The Nanosoft Bottoming Tool provides an easy way to ensure you don’t mis-bottom c-clips anymore.

Product Information

The Nanosoft C-clip Bottoming Tool provides an innovative, easy, and highly efficient way to safely "bottom" the C-clip at the tip of the barrel of a grid clipping tool prior to clipping your samples. Instead of risking the delicate C-clip by pressing the tip of the barrel against a tabletop, flat surface, or a pair of tweezers—where holding it perfectly straight is difficult and can cause the clip to fly out and be lost—you simply place the barrel directly into this specialized Bottoming Tool. The engineered cylinder of the tool perfectly aligns the clipping tool's barrel, ensuring that when you press the plunger to push the C-clip to the tip, it is done straight and securely. This effectively eliminates the frustration of "mis-bottoming" and losing essential C-clips during your meticulous cryo-EM sample preparation workflow.
