Quantum Design

Quantum Design's patented high-symmetry SQUID design and electronics provide the most rugged and sensitive all-thin-film sensors commercially available, and give you everything you need to configure flexible, powerful detection systems for your research. These sensors can easily withstand the rigors of a laboratory environment such as repeated temperature cycling. Their robust performance offers a level of reliability and adaptability that has earned QD a worldwide reputation as the SQUID of choice. OEM services are also available for special commercial applications.

AFSEM nano is an atomic force microscope (AFM), designed for integration in a SEM or Dualbeam (SEM/FIB) microscope. Its open access design allows you to simultaneously operate SEM and AFM inside the SEM vacuum chamber. The correlated image data of AFM and SEM enable unique characterization of your sample, and the combination of complementary techniques is a key success factor for gaining new insights into the micro and nano worlds. AFSEM nano enables you to easily combine two of the most powerful analysis techniques to greatly extend your correlative microscopy and analysis possibilities. AFSEM nano lets you simultaneously image your sample with high resolution, create true 3D-topography representations, and accurately measure heights, distances and even material properties, all while maintaining the large SEM field of view to position your AFSEM nano cantilever exactly where you want it. The powerful AFSEM nano control software allows for optimized and intuitive measuring, system handling, and data analysis. For product or material analysis, it is often desirable to analyze a sample with multiple techniques and look for correlations between parameters. For imaging techniques like SEM and AFM this means one should make sure to analyze the exact same area. What easier way for correlative SEM-AFM analysis than performing the AFM measurement directly inside the SEM?

Quantum Design’s PPMS VersaLab is a portable, cryogen-free cryocooler-based material characterization platform. With a temperature range of 50 – 400 K, this 3 tesla platform is perfect for accomplishing many types of materials characterization in a limited space. As with all Quantum Design instruments, the PPMS VersaLab is a fully automated turnkey system with a user-friendly interface. It is specifically designed for material characterization up to 3 tesla and over a wide temperature range without the need of liquid cryogens or high power infrastructure. This makes the PPMS VersaLab perfect for small laboratories where space is at a premium, as well as educational labs that might not have the full facilities of major laboratories.
