Indium Tin Oxide Coated Glass Slide (Size: 100mm×100mm×1.1mm)

Indium Tin Oxide Coated Glass Slide

Indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass slides are specialized substrates used in various scientific, industrial, and electronic applications due to their combination of optical transparency and electrical conductivity. Here’s a detailed overview of their key applications:

Scientific Research

Microscopy

Description: ITO-coated glass slides are used as substrates in microscopy for their conductive properties.

Application: Ideal for studies involving fluorescence microscopy, where the transparency of the slide allows for clear imaging, and the conductivity can facilitate electrical measurements or stimulation.

Electrochemical Studies

Description: The conductive layer on ITO-coated slides makes them suitable for electrochemical experiments.

Application: Used as electrodes or substrates in electrochemical cells, sensors, and studies involving reactions that occur at the electrode surface.

Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR)

Description: SPR is a technique used to study interactions at the surface of a material.

Application: ITO-coated slides are used as the substrate for SPR sensors, where the conductive coating enhances the detection of surface interactions by supporting surface plasmon resonance.

 Optoelectronic Devices

Thin-Film Transistors (TFTs)

Description: ITO-coated glass slides serve as a substrate in the fabrication of thin-film transistors.

Application: Used in the production of active-matrix displays and other electronic devices where a transparent and conductive layer is required.

Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs)

Description: ITO-coated glass slides are employed in the manufacturing of OLED displays.

Application: Acts as the anode in OLED devices, providing both electrical conductivity and transparency for light emission.

Sensors and Detection

Chemical and Gas Sensors

Description: The conductive properties of ITO-coated slides are useful in sensor technology.

Application: Used in chemical and gas sensors, where the ITO layer aids in the detection of chemical reactions or gas concentrations by facilitating electrical measurements.

Biosensors

Description: ITO-coated glass slides are used in biosensors due to their biocompatibility and conductivity.

Application: Employed in the development of biosensors for detecting biological molecules or pathogens, where the ITO layer allows for both optical and electrical signal detection.

Electrochromic Devices

Smart Windows and Displays

Description: Electrochromic devices change their optical properties in response to an electrical input.

Application: ITO-coated glass slides are used in electrochromic devices and smart windows, where they act as the conductive layer that facilitates the change in transparency or color.
