Biotech & nanotechnology tools

Point Made
There are many important problems to solve in surface science that are of a tribological nature. The tendency has been to make due with the tools at hand by using an available indentation system, or an AFM, in order to study complex problems of film adhesion, delamination, lubrication, wear and friction.

The Reality
Using a tool that is inadequate for the job can be costly in time and resources. Often, such compromises will yield only a quasi-quantitative result with a minimal degree of confidence based on extended or tenuous model assumptions.

A Better Solution
Use a system with methods that can incorporate ASTM referenced standards in order to produce a truly quantitative result.

CSM Instruments
In recognizing that no single system can do everything in tribology, CSM is the only company that offers a full suite of dedicated tribology tools that each meet the ASTM requirements for the task at hand. In this case, CSM offers maximum credibility and minimal risk for your materials testing. One can make true quantitative measures of hardness, modulus, adhesion, wear and friction. In addition, CSM's open platform design allows you to combine these dedicated tools into a single, integrated platform for enhanced ease of use, also giving you powerful cross-referencing of results with multiple testing methods.
