Effortlessly collect 3D topography data with sub-nanometer precision on your benchtop with the Redux AFM. Get quantitative data in minutes for topography, roughness, film thickness, particle size and more.

Nanoscale Imaging Has Never Been Easier

Collect nanoscale topography data on your benchtop in three clicks with the nGauge AFM.

ICSPI has integrated all of the components of a traditional AFM onto a single 1 mm x 1 mm chip to create the world’s first single-chip AFM. That means that 250 AFMs can fit on the face of a penny.

The nGauge AFM uses micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) to control the X, Y and Z position of the tip. This means that no alignment of lasers is required.

The nGauge is the smallest AFM in the world. Because the entire unit weighs less than 500 grams, the nGauge rejects building vibrations, so no vibration isolation table is needed, which makes the nGauge a true benchtop AFM.

 

What can I use AFM for?

AFM provides topographical data of a surface. That means that you can look at the shape and size of individual features, such as the pits on a DVD, or look at the particle density, such as the number of nanoparticles in an area.

The nGauge AFM can be used to investigate surfaces where the features are up to 10 µm tall. It’s tricky to pinpoint a lower limit, but the RMS noise in the vertical (z) direction of the nGauge is 1 nanometre (nm). So, depending on your requirements, features as small as 5–10 nm can be imaged with the nGauge with acceptable accuracy.

To put what a nanometer is into perspective, a quarter (25-cent coin) is about 2 cm wide. An E. coli bacterium cell is 2 µm wide (10,000× smaller than a quarter). And the diameter of a DNA helix is 2 nm (1,000× smaller than a bacterium).

The DT Series of analytical and high precision balances from LabPRO delivers the accuracy and performance required in a host of laboratory, industrial and educational applications. With the right blend of performance and features, LabPRO DT Series high precision balances offers high performance yet economical value for all your weighing needs.

The high precision micropipette series are essential to those who relies on accuracy, especially users in the fields of molecular biology, microbiology, immunology, cell culture, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and genetics. Its nine volume range covers the complete pipetting range from 0.2 μl to 100 μl to offer its user a wider selection to find the most suitable model for any application.

LabPRO products are specially designed to offer high performance with Swiss accuracy yet with economical value. The new LabPRO high precision micropipette is the only mechanical pipette that offers both lock/unlock mechanism and tip ejection system in one. They are essential to users who relies highly on accuracy, especially those in the fields of molecular biology, microbiology, immunology, cell culture, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and genetics.

LabPRO Tips are designed, developed, and manufactured in order to fit LabPro pipettes perfectly but also all commercially available pipettes. They ensure optimal performance of your pipettes across the full volume range and are perfectly fit for manual or electronic, single or multichannel.

The LabVantage Enterprise platform is designed to scale from small single-site deployments all the way up to a global enterprise. Complex organizations tackling a large volume of data and a wide variety of work, often across multiple labs in multiple geographies and languages, can rely on the LabVantage Enterprise solution hosted from a single data center. There is no need for costly Citrix farms or complex distributed systems.

LabVantage also goes beyond a traditional LIMS to incorporate functionality found in multiple lab systems – such as ELN and LES.

For business leaders and lab managers, LabVantage Enterprise offers dashboard views, functionality, and systems integration that generate insights for decision making, workforce planning, and other operational functions.

IT chooses LabVantage Enterprise because of its modern technology, scalability, cloud-hosted or on-premise options, ability to integrate with other business systems, and support for thousands of multi-site users.

Scientists and technicians appreciate the roles-based access to data from any device (including tablets), and the ease of use. It covers a wide range of capabilities, from sample lifecycle management to lab execution, data retrieval, security and auditing, and more.

Find out why hundreds of organizations use LabVantage Enterprise to enhance the productivity and efficiency of their labs.
