About Anasys Instruments

Anasys Instruments is creates innovative systems for measuring nanoscale material properties. Understanding structure-property correlation, particularly for samples with spatially different physical and chemical properties, is critical in a diverse range of fields, including polymers, materials science, life science, semiconductors and data storage. Anasys introduced nanothermal analysis (nano-TA) with their self-heating ThermaLever™ AFM cantilever probes in 2006, enabling nanoscale measurement of thermal properties.

In 2010, Anasys launched their multiple award-winning nanoIR™ technology, an AFM-based solution for nanoscale chemical characterisation using infrared spectroscopy. Combining AFM and infrared spectroscopy offers researchers a whole new range of chemical, mechanical and thermal property measurements.

Anasys Instruments introduced the afm+ in 2011. The afm+ is the first fully integrated AFM platform which delivers thermal probe technology (nano-TA), Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM) and transition temperature microscopy (TTM).

Anasys is now part of the Bruker nanoscale measurement portfolio.
