Company Background Asylum Research
is the technology leader for atomic force and scanning probe microscopy (AFM/SPM)
for both materials and bioscience applications. Started by former employees of
Digital Instruments in 1999, we are a company dedicated to innovative instrumentation
for nanoscience and nanotechnology, with over 200 years combined AFM/SPM experience
from our scientists, engineers and software developers. Our instruments are used
for a variety of nanoscience applications in material science, physics, polymers,
chemistry, biomaterials, and bioscience, including single molecule mechanical
experiments on DNA, protein unfolding and polymer elasticity, as well as force
measurements for biomaterials, chemical sensing, polymers, colloidal forces, adhesion,
and more. Asylum’s product line offers advanced imaging and measurement
capabilities for a wide range of samples, including Dual AC™ mode, iDrive,™
Q-control, electrical characterization (CAFM, KFM, EFM), high voltage piezoresponse
force microscopy (PFM), magnetic force microscopy (MFM) with our unique variable
field module, quantitative nanoindenting, and a wide range of environmental accessories
and application-ready modules.
Asylum’s
MFP-3D, set the standard for AFM technology, with unprecedented precision
and flexibility. The MFP-3D
is the first AFM with true independent piezo positioning in all three axes,
combined with low noise closed-loop feedback sensor technology. The MFP-3D
offers both top and bottom sample viewing for easy integration with most commercially-available
inverted optical microscopes.
Asylum’s new Cypher
AFM is the world’s first completely new small sample AFM/SPM in over
a decade, and sets the new standard as the world’s highest resolution
AFM. Cypher
provides low-drift closed loop atomic resolution for the most accurate images
and measurements possible today, rapid AC imaging with small cantilevers, Spot-On™
automated laser alignment for easy setup, integrated thermal, acoustic and vibration
control, and broad support for all major AFM/SPM scanning modes and capabilities.
