CCHAR – High-Aspect Ratio CNT AFM Probe more

Carbon Design Innovations announced the availability of a new atomic force microscope (AFM) probe for high-aspect ratio life science imaging. The Carbon Core BioProbe (CCB) offers AFM scientists a new level of performance and opens new avenues for research. The company has patented processes for the deterministic manufacture of carbon nanotube (CNT) devices. Based on these processes, the company is able to produce CNT AFM probes that are perfectly straight and precisely aligned, allowing them to be set at desired angles to the imaging surface. The CNT is securely anchored providing for robust and stable imaging with previously unseen levels of performance.
The CNT probes are more stable and have longer imaging lifetimes than other probe types. In addition, the ability to apply proprietary coatings allows CDI to produce reliable CNT probes up to 5 microns total length. As a result, the probes offer customers greater imaging flexibility, performance and reproducibility that will enable them to make significant advances in new areas of AFM research. The new CNT AFM probes are compatible with all major AFM systems, giving users an easy path for improving AFM performance without making a substantial investment in new instrumentation.
