BASIC INFORMATION

  • Make & Model : Park Systems, NX12
  • Department : Biotechnology and Medical Engineering
  • Location : BM 130
  • Category : Category - I
  • Status : Functional

PRINCIPLE:

The Park NX12 Bio-AFM operates based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) principles. AFM works by scanning a sharp probe (or tip) over the surface of a sample. The probe interacts with the surface at a molecular level, measuring forces between the tip and sample. This interaction provides high-resolution topographical data, allowing the visualization of surfaces at the atomic or molecular scale. The Bio-AFM version is equipped with specialized features that make it suitable for biological sample analysis, such as soft biological materials.

APPLICATION:

Biological Research :Analysis of cell morphology, interactions, and mechanical properties. Imaging of DNA, proteins, and other macromolecules. Study of cell membrane mechanics and biomolecular interactions. Material Science: High-resolution imaging of nanomaterials, polymers, and composites. Surface characterization of materials in various environments (e.g., air, liquid). Nanotechnology: Measuring nanostructures, nanoparticles, and their interactions at the nanoscale. Pharmaceutical Industry: Drug delivery systems and surface characterization of pharmaceutical compounds.
