AFM Probes for the Dimension FastScan Bio AFM

 

About the FastScan Bio AFM

The Dimension FastScan Bio™ Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) breaks longstanding barriers to provide routine high-resolution research of biological dynamics, with temporal resolution in up to 3 frames per second for live sample observations. Furthermore, it does this while making the AFM easier to use than ever before. These breakthroughs allow many more researchers to observe and study the mechanisms biomolecular machines utilize to perform their biological functions. FastScan Bio’s high-resolution and high-speed scanning provide the best available bio tool for the observation of molecules,proteins, DNA, RNA, living cell membranes and tissues, and many other dynamics studies.  See the Dimension FastScan Bio Videos

 

Current probes available for Dimension FastScan BioAFM:

FastScan-D – A unique probe that opens the door to many more researchers to observe delicate biological samples at high rates without damaging or disturbing structural membrane domains. Specifications: k = 0.25 N/m, f = 110 kHz, proprietary reflective coating

FastScan-B – Specifically engineered for fast scanning in liquid. Specifications: k = 4 N/m, f = 400 kHz, 60nm Ti/Au reflective coating

FastScan-C – Softer cantilever than FastScan-B, also specifically engineered for fast scanning in liquid. Specifications:  k = 1.5 N/m, f = 250 kHz, 60nm Ti/Au reflective coating

 

Bruker Online Lab - BioAFM - High-Speed AFM and Cell Mechanics

Our applications scientists from the BioAFM labs in Germany held a live session on Bruker's state-of-the-art instruments. Attendees had the opportunity to ask questions real-time. The session focused on AFM of biological specimens, single-molecule high-speed AFM and Cellular Mechanobiology.
