The Vacuum Storage Container is a portable device for the vacuum storage and transport of plasma cleaned specimens and transmission electron microscope (TEM) specimen holders. A high-precision valve assembly ensures vacuum integrity for prolonged periods. The Vacuum Storage Container is typically evacuated through the use of the Model 1020 Plasma Cleaner's oil-free vacuum system.

The specimen portion of the TEM specimen holder can be directly observed through a sight glass. An impact-resistant polycarbonate outer housing provides a high degree of protection to the specimen holder, which enables the safe transportation of specimen holders under clean, vacuum conditions.
