sQube® colloidal AFM probes

By NanoWorld Holding AG

sQube® offers colloidal microspheres, mounted on the end of tipless AFM cantilevers. Colloidal microspheres by sQube® are available in different materials, such as Borosilicate Glass (BSG), Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), Polystyrene (PS), Silicon Dioxide (SiO2), and Gold (Au). The microsphere diameters vary between 2 and 20 micrometers. sQube® offers customers the possibility for custom development of colloidal AFM probes based other tipless AFM probes, with different sphere materials. Until 2023, sQube® colloidal AFM probes were distributed uniquely by NanoAndMore in Europe, North America and Japan. In mid-2024 Innovative Solutions Bulgaria Ltd. opened the distribution of sQube® colloidal AFM probes to its wide network of international distributors, as well as through and online shop on the newly established sQube® website.
