Abstract

We developed a novel microchannel-TEM grid that enables observation of interfacial biochemical reactions. A Y-shaped microchannel, which was sandwiched between two alumina membranes, realizes observation of interfacial reactions by lamellar flow. Reliable sealing of the microchannel was achieved by highly stable Al2O3/SU-8 bonding of 2.90 MPa at 180 °C. TEM images indicate the TEM grid has sufficient electron transparency and it was successfully fabricated without microchannel distortion. These results suggest that proposed TEM grid will become a powerful tool for revealing mechanisms of chemical reactions.
