Bruker超高速原子力顯微鏡

2020年7月30日布魯克推出了新一代超高速原子力顯微鏡NanoRacer®。NanoRacer®憑借其50幀/秒的超高速成像，實(shí)現(xiàn)了真正意義上視頻級(jí)成像速度下單個(gè)生物分子的動(dòng)態(tài)觀察。NanoRacer®的革新性的技術(shù)突破，在AFM領(lǐng)域樹立了新的里程碑。布魯克BioAFM研發(fā)團(tuán)隊(duì)與生命科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的專家緊密合作，使NanoRacer®不僅擁有超高掃描速率與原子級(jí)別分辨率，而且擁有杰出的易用性，使得對(duì)單分子動(dòng)態(tài)過程的捕捉變得十分便捷，為深入理解生物物理、生物化學(xué)、分子生物學(xué)、病毒學(xué)以及生物醫(yī)學(xué)等領(lǐng)域的單分子動(dòng)態(tài)過程提供了強(qiáng)大工具。

全新的NanoRacer®采用了新的架構(gòu)結(jié)合更低噪音、更高穩(wěn)定性的Vortis™ 2控制器，全新的驅(qū)動(dòng)算法與力控制算法，可以在超高速下獲取高分辨的生物樣品信息。新系統(tǒng)整合了基于工作流程的V7操作軟件，直觀的用戶界面與流程化、自動(dòng)化的設(shè)置使得研究人員可以專注于自己的實(shí)驗(yàn)，加速研究的產(chǎn)出能效。
