Atomic force microscopy has been gaining an incredible amount of interest among today’s leading life science researchers and educators, both due to its nanoscale imaging capabilities and the physical interaction between the probe and sample. FastScan Bio is built upon the world’s most advanced large-sample AFM platform, the Dimension FastScan™.

FastScan Bio AFM adds specialized life science features to this platform, and has been specifically designed for high-resolution, livesample observation of interacting molecules, membrane proteins, DNA protein binding, inter-cellular signaling and many other dynamic biological studies. Bruker’s new innovative probe design with unique cantilever shape and coating enables an uprecedented combination of imaging speed and softness. The resulting system delivers the scanning speed required for high-resolution spatiotemporal studies with the greatest simplicity ever seen in a commercial AFM system:

• Simplified sample engaging and controls for immediate imaging
• Real-time panning, zooming and scanning
• Feature tracking and Movie creation tool
• Micro-volume fluid cell with controlled fluid exchange
