JPK Nanowiz­ard
A spe­cial­ized scan­ner and height trac­ing allow for imag­ing with video rate speed to ob­verse bi­o­log­i­cal processes in-​situ.

RHK UHV 7500
With­out the dis­rup­tive in­flu­ence of air and hu­mid­ity, this AFM can re­solve much finer de­tails down to sub­mol­e­c­u­lar level.

Asy­lum MFP3D
Heat­ing, cool­ing and the ac­ces­si­bil­ity in liq­uids like cell medium makes it suited for in­ves­ti­ga­tions of live cells.

Bruker Mul­ti­mode
A fast and easy-​to-use sys­tem for all-​round mea­sure­ments in air and liq­uid.

Our op­ti­cal tweez­ers, a com­mer­cial re­mod­el­ing and a com­plete self made con­struc­tion setup, have been op­ti­mised for jears to en­hance best res­o­lu­tion when mes­sur­ing forces down to the pico-​newton scale.

Mes­sur­ing elec­tri­cal cur­rent through nanome­ter pores high sen­si­tive de­vices for pi­co­volt de­tec­tion are needed.

Com­mer­cial Pi­cotwist setup to mes­sure forces when wind­ing the sam­ples, cap­tured by mag­netic fields.

For flu­o­res­cence cross cor­re­la­tion spec­troscopy a Zeiss Con­fo­cor Mi­cro­scope is avi­able.

Our Shi­madzu UV-​2450 and PerkinElmer LS55 flu­o­res­cence spec­trom­e­ters can iden­tify and char­ac­ter­ize var­i­ous liq­uids by wave­length ab­sorp­tion.
 

To pre­pare bi­o­log­i­cal sam­plings for fur­ther in­ves­ti­ga­tion a well equipped lab­o­ra­tory is avi­able.

With an ex­tended area of 1000 cm², our R&K Lang­muir trough can pro­duce ex­em­plary large mol­e­c­u­lar mono­lay­ers.

A class 1000 clean­room with High Efficiency-​Particulate Air­fil­ter (HEPA) equipped flow­boxes in it en­sure un­soiled work.

Our self made HV plasma clean­ers are used to pre­pare and ac­ti­vate var­i­ous sam­pels for mi­cro­fuidic and oth­ers and can be used with dif­fer­ent gases and mix­tures.

With our im­age­set­ter we are able to ex­pose our own sam­ples for mi­croflu­idic se­tups. A wet bench with heater in the clean­room are also avaible.

The BAL-​TEC MCS is a re­li­able and ver­sa­tile vac­uum de­vice for the sputter-​ and evap­o­ra­tion coat­ing tech­nolo­gie.

A RT 8000 tri­bome­ter is used for mes­sur­ing fric­tion and wear be­tween var­i­ous sorts of ma­te­ri­als com­bined with sev­eral oil mix­tures.
