“Innovation at the edge of the probe”
Our team uses Atomic Force Microscopy to explore surfaces properties at nanoscale level in liquid conditions on biological particles.
WHAT WE DO
A5 Science
Atomic Force Microscopy conducted at nanoscale level on single molecules allows high quality imaging and biological interpretation for Life Science analysis. A5 science aims to provide quantitative biomechanical observations for every biological surface. With our expertise on AFM and Life science, we can record unique images and data set to provide concept validation or certification for your product.
AFM applied to Life Science
Highly qualified team with academic supports
AFM as Service
We provide rare experimental designs and protocols for AFM used in Life Science compatible mode. We want to make AFM suitable for your product.
BIOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION
AFM data sets have to be processed before production of results and figures, our experts convert raw data into scientific interpretation in regard to literature in order to provide reports and specific dedicated review.
IMAGING IN LIQUIDS
Nanomechanical measurements are performed on biological samples in physiological environment without any denaturation step : soft immobilization is used. AFM is also executed in liquids with controlled temperature and gas.
DATA TO EVIDENCE
A5 Science can afford a complete range of analysis for your project from 3D topographic images to statistical studies of Biomechanical parameters alteration and more.
A5 SCIENCE EXPERTS USE AFM TO EXPLORE LIFE SCIENCE
AFM dedicated to your discoveries
Atomic Force Microscopy is an advanced observation technique based on the capacity to physically approach the surface sample. AFM provides high-resolution topographic images and sensitive force measurements recorded with a local probe at the surface of the biological samples.
