Bruker NanoWizard ULTRA Speed 3

Bruker‘s NanoWizard^® ULTRA Speed 3 BioAFM sets new standards in speed and performance. Advanced automation features and an unprecedented scanning speed of 1,400 lines per second have been combined in one instrument, that can be seamlessly integrated into advanced optical microscopy and super-resolution techniques.

The system delivers correlated sample measurements and the comprehensive nanomechanical characterization of an extensive range of soft matter and living biological samples. Its automated fast-scanning and analysis capabilities maximize throughput and deliver outstanding performance. Novel, cutting-edge automation features open new possibilities for long-term, self-regulating experiment series and provide unrivaled sensitivity, reliability, and precision.

NanoWizard ULTRA Speed 3 features a host of new advanced functionalities:

• Fully automated set-up, alignment, and re-adjustment of system parameters, for easy operation and increased productivity
• Bruker’s 3D acceleration sensor and feed-forward technology for unrivalled stability in the tip-scanning motion and highest feedback bandwidth for excellent surface tracking
• DynAsyst for automatic adjustment and optimization of scan parameters in TappingMode™
• Internal LED lighting for stand-alone operation
• QR code reader for improved cantilever handling and management. Scans and automatically sets the parameters of Bruker’s pre-calibrated cantilevers
• Advanced data management and processing capabilities

Morphology: The new software feature DynAsyst and improved Dynamic PID enable easy investigation of fragile, unfixed samples at higher speeds and lowest forces.

Dynamics: A scanning speed of 1,400 lines/sec allows the real-time visualization of dynamic processes.

Nanomechanics: Enables fast, label-free, multiparametric characterization of nanoscale biomechanical properties.

Microrheology: An additional, optional fast Z-scanner with an innovative sensor technology generates reproducible force curves at highest speeds, significantly extending the frequency range for microrheological measurements.

NanoWizard ULTRA Speed 3 sets benchmark standards by delivering fast AFM scanning capabilities that can be combined with advanced optical techniques. Its tip-scanner technology achieves scanning speeds previously unattainable with conventional AFMs.
