NanoWizard®II
from the Pioneers of BioAFM. New Standards for Soft Matter and Life
Science AFM. Performance Redefined.
|
The JPK NanoWizard® AFM paved the way for a multitude
of applications in Soft Matter and Life Science research. With
German precision engineering and a pioneering spirit, JPK established
the BioAFM as a new class of instrumentation with a tremendous
global success. There are imitators, but only JPK seriously addresses
the needs of life science researchers by concentrating on solutions
for their applications. With this strong focus, JPK is the technology
leader in this field, and the NanoWizard®II
sets a new standard for the next generation BioAFM.
Key BioAFM design criteria
|
|
 |
AFM measurements
work at the first shot |
|
Measuring
single molecules demands highest resolution in imaging and
force measurements, particularly in fluids |
|
Long-term
experiments demand the utmost stability and zero drift - an
ideal closed-loop scanner is essential |
|
 |
 |
|
Biological
samples require optical contrast enhancement methods like
phase contrast and DIC - a real optical condenser is needed |
|
Fluorescence
techniques such as TIRF, FRET, FCS, FRAP, FLIM, Ca2+ response,
and laser scanning microscopy require that the sample does
not scan - only a cantilever tip-scanning AFM can provide
this |
|
The AFM
and optical microscope must be software integrated and without
interference - optical filters and an infrared light source
allow truly simultaneous operation |
|
JPK has followed these principles and provides the optimum BioAFM
solution with the NanoWizard®II.
The NanoWizard® has proven its performance in almost every
research field, from nanomanipulation to cell adhesion measurements,
from surface chemistry to DNA high resolution imaging, from bacteria
to pharmaceuticals, from electrochemistry to polymer melting.
Our continuously growing global user base and the scientific publication
output of our customers are convincing proof of this.
|
|
Working
in liquid demands that no sensitive parts be positioned below
the sample level - a sample scanning approach is not suitable |
|
All parts in contact with the sample must be easy to exchange,
replace, and rigorously clean |
|
The
AFM must be completely sealed and offer different fluid cells
for the full range of applications |

Optimum
results for all different applications, i.e. a large scan
range, but also the highest resolution |
|
Electronics, hardware, and software must allow user-defined
experiments and integration with external equipment, e.g.
electrical or optical devices |
|
The
entire spectrum of AFM modes and a comprehensive range of
accessories are needed for complex experiments, e.g. for environmental
control |
