Asylum Research Appoints Intertech as AFM Distributor for Russia, Eurasia

Santa Barbara, CA | Posted on August 25th, 2009

Intertech, an American export and engineering company that specializes in providing analytical instrumentation and other products to the Former Soviet Union (FSU), will sell and support Asylum's complete line of atomic force/scanning probe microscopes, including the Cypher™ AFM and the MFP-3D™ Family of AFMs.

Tim Kiernan, President of Intertech, commented, "We are excited about our partnership with Asylum Research, the technology leader for atomic force and scanning probe microscopy. A number of the world's leading nanoscience researchers are located in Russia and the C.I.S. and we look forward to working with them supporting Asylum's products. The Cypher AFM is the most exciting and highest resolution AFM on the market, and the MFP-3D is the most versatile AFM available, especially with its biological accessories, instrumented Nanoindenter capability, and the new Ztherm™ thermal analysis option."

Added John Green, Asylum's EVP for Sales, "Intertech has had a great deal of success in selling and supporting a wide range of surface analytical instrumentation in the FSU and is an excellent partner for us. We anticipate a long and mutually beneficial relationship that will broaden our reach and increase our user base across Europe and Asia."

About Asylum Research
Asylum Research is the technology leader for atomic force and scanning probe microscopy (AFM/SPM) for both materials and bioscience applications. Founded in 1999, we are a company dedicated to innovative instrumentation for nanoscience and nanotechnology, with over 250 years combined AFM/SPM experience from our scientists, engineers and software developers. Our instruments are used for a variety of nanoscience applications in material science, physics, polymers, chemistry, biomaterials, and bioscience, including single molecule mechanical experiments on DNA, protein unfolding and polymer elasticity, as well as force measurements for biomaterials, chemical sensing, polymers, colloidal forces, adhesion, and more. Asylum’s product line offers imaging and measurement capabilities for a wide range of samples, including advanced techniques such as electrical characterization (CAFM, KFM, EFM), high voltage piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM), magnetic force microscopy (MFM) with our unique variable field module, quantitative nanoindenting, and a wide range of environmental accessories and application-ready modules.
Asylum’s MFP-3D™ set the standard for AFM technology, with unprecedented precision and flexibility. The MFP-3D is the first AFM with true independent piezo positioning in all three axes, combined with low noise closed-loop feedback sensor technology. The MFP-3D offers both top and bottom sample viewing for easy integration with most commercially-available inverted optical microscopes.
Asylum’s new Cypher™ AFM is the world’s first new small sample AFM/SPM in over a decade, and sets the new standard as the world’s highest resolution AFM. Cypher provides low-drift closed loop atomic resolution for the most accurate images and measurements possible today, rapid AC imaging with small cantilevers, Spot-On™ automated laser alignment for easy setup, integrated thermal, acoustic and vibration control, and broad support for all major AFM/SPM scanning modes and capabilities.
Asylum Research offers the lowest cost of ownership of any AFM company. Ask us about our industry-best 2-year warranty, our legendary product and applications support, and our exclusive 6-month money-back satisfaction guarantee. We are dedicated to providing the most technically advanced AFMs for researchers who want to take their experiments to the next level. Asylum Research also distributes third party cantilevers from Olympus, Nanoworld/Nanosensors, and our own MFM and iDrive tips.
