The Anasys nanoIR2-s – A Modern Approach to Nano-IR

Nanoscale Infrared Spectroscopy is a field which has quite a few competitors battling it out in order to provide superior products. Anasys Instruments are a rather large player in this field of surface science, and this Californian company is so for good reason. Pioneers of the field of Nanoscale Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy (and Imaging), Anasys Instruments are the company of which others attempt to emulate.

The NanoIR2-FS is a example of Anasys setting the bar for other manufacturers. This high-speed, high resolution full spectra device allows for AFM-IR measurements in a matter of seconds. Gone are the days of readings taking a few hours or a few minutes, the NanoIR2-FS promises accurate, fast results.

How accurate are these quick results? You might be forgiven for thinking that haste equals waste, but with Anasys Instruments, it’s absolutely anything but. The NanoIRS-F2 device also features 10nm chemical imaging spatial recognition with Tapping AFM-IR (Widely regarded as the most advanced development in nanoscale IR technology, providing the highest spatial resolution for chemical imaging there is) ensuring that your measurements are of the most precise possible.

Anasys Technologies have absolutely knocked the ball out of the park with this one – the NanoIR2-FS may be considered by many as somewhat difficult to use. The device is certainly quick, and accurate, so surely there must be some tradeoff, right? There must be some drawback to using the nanoIR2-FS, right?

Well, wrong. Despite the nanoIR2-FS being the latest generation of Anasys Instruments pioneering field of nanoscale infrared spectroscopy, it certainly displays none of the flaws which one would associate with being the first of its kind. Anasys are true masters of their field, producing excellent product after excellent product, yet this one is worthy of being considered the flagship Anasys Instruments product of this generation.

Furthermore, The NanoIR2-FS boasts multifunctionality throughout – such as nanoscale property mapping modes, each with full featured AFM. It’s an absolute doddle to use to a trained operator, and boasts superior reliability and will certainly boost your productivity – whether you’re using the NanoAR2-FS for laboratory, educational, or even industrial use, this little piece of kit will certainly boost your capacity.

The nanoIR2-FS is available in the UK directly from Scanwel, a well respected manufacturer of custom fabrications and fittings, based within Bala, North Wales.

What Is Oil and Gas Reservoir Evaluation?

Oil and Gas Reserves and Resources Evaluation is a series of technical studies which are intended to add value to an oil and gas company’s operations pertaining to a particular prospect – as well as highlight issues which may prevent the prospect coming into fruition. Typically, an oil and gas reserves and resource evaluation consists of various technical studies, which tend to take place from an early exploration stage, onward to development planning and even utilised in project execution. Some of these technical studies are as follows. Seismic Processing and Imaging is taken on both pre and post stack processing sequences. Furthermore, there are a series of regional sedimentlogical, sequence-stratigraphic and structural exploration technical audits to carry out. Essential geological information such as sedimentology, facies, burial history, diagenesis and mineralogy is also taken into consideration in order to find the best possible evaluation result. All-in-all, the act of o

Industrial Hose Reels & Their Conveniences

Wear and tear can occur if your hose is simply left out for extended periods of time in a hectic, possibly dangerous, working environment. Industrial hoses on a reel keep everything within the application in top condition, removing the chances of unnecessary damage that will require a replacement and subsequently a large cost. The organisation of several industrial hoses in one business can be an absolute nightmare. The space that is required when storing a regular hose can become quite detrimental, so utilising the space saving benefits of a hose reel can save on space and provide a storage area for so much more. Retractable hose reels are designed with features that allow them to be easily mounted on to walls and ceilings, leaving you to utilise the maximum amount of storage and work space as possible. Other reels are designed to be mounted on trucks and heavy duty vans, so if you happen to have a fleet of vehicles that are capable of having reels fixed to them, you can com

What is AFM-IR?

AFM-IR , or atomic force microscopy based infrared spectroscopy is a form of chemical imaging which creates a visual image of components which make up chemicals, which uses extremely high powered microscopes. This is typically done with a radiation source to illuminate the sample which is being observed, as well as the usage of an AFM probe which detects thermal expansions from the radiation source. Also used is a high-powered imaging system to translate the probe’s movements into an image, and finally a detector array to categorise. AFM-IR places results in a three-dimensional block, which spans x and y dimensions. AFM-IR has enormous application in a whole variety of fields. Whether it is chemistry, biology, medicine, pharmaceutical agricultural or industrial use, the ability to analyse substances and work our properties is vital. AFM-IR has quickly become one of the most powerful and efficient ways to characterise material surfaces, especially at nanoscale resolution. Na
