Asylum Research, producer for atomic force and scanning probe microscopy (AFM/SPM), announced that it set new records for both orders and shipments in its fourth quarter and for the 2009 calendar year. The fourth quarter results exceeded Asylum's record 2009 third quarter, where orders were more than half again greater than the Company's previous record quarter. Orders and shipments for the fourth quarter and year were a near equal combination of the recently introduced Cypher system, the MFP-3D-BIO AFM, which mounts on an inverted optical microscope platform for the biosciences, and the MFP-3D Stand Alone AFM for physical and materials science applications.
Added John Green, Executive VP of Sales, "During 2009, we saw other AFM companies cutting key staff and downsizing, while we continued to flourish with our ... technology, unmatched performance, ability to demonstrate research solutions, and strong applications support. We have attracted a growing number of former users of other AFMs with our continuous flow of new products and techniques providing our customers with leading research capabilities while rapidly expanding our market share and global presence. Many thanks to all of our users...."
