How does the S100 Nanomanipulator compare to other manipulation and testing research tools?
The S100 provides unique solutions to problems faced by the newest generation of nanotechnology researchers. Current researchers demand an integrated solution that offers “one stop shopping” for a comprehensive manipulation and testing functionality. Competing systems are less desirable than the S100 because they: The S100 is more desirable than competing systems because it: • Is reasonably priced (some competing systems cost over $500,000). • Uses an ergonomic, user-friendly joystick and keypad interface that can be quickly learned and comfortably used for hours in one sitting. • Is easy to integrate with SEMs and other research equipment (e.g., third party electrical test equipment). • Achieves true nanometer manipulation motion (increasing its usefulness for true nanotechnology research). • Includes a variety of probes and end effectors that can be easily changed and upgraded for a variety of research applications.
