Its one of the tactic procedure to get good TEM image if the sample is magnetic nanoparticle without surface functionalisation. Suggest me a solvent or way of sample preparation without any agglomerationon the TEM grid?

1. MAKE DILUTE DISPERSION OF YOUR NANOPARTICLES IN ETHANOL
2. SONICATE THE DISPERSION for 10 MIN
3. TAKE 1 ML OF THE DISPERSION IN EPPENDROF MICRO CENTRIFUGE TUBE AND YOUR TEM GRID
4. CENTRIFUGE THE DISPERSION FOR 3 MIN
5. CAREFULLY TAKE OUT THE GRID IN GLASS PETRIDISH AND KEEP IN VACCUUM DESICATOR OVERNIGHT.
6. YOUR GRID IS READY FOR TEM ANALYSIS WITHOUT AGGLOMERATION.
7. GOOD LUCK
