MEMS Devices

Our Nano tweezes are made of silicon wafer with our MEMS(Micro Electro Mechanical System) technology.

Voltage supply by a specific controller gives smoothness to grasp operation which makes it possible to grasp nano to micro size objects.

What you can do with the nano-tweezers

For each sample of size few μm ~ several tens of μm, various approaches are possible.

For example,

  • Gather or move few μm sized particle.
  • Remove or take out few μm sized particle.
  • nvetigate behavior by giving vibration, and evaluate its characteristic.

They can be used in various ways depending on usage.
Please feel free to contact us if you have a trouble with treatment of micro-sized tiny foreign particle, components, cells, or crystals.

Grip
  • Gather
  • Move
  • Remove
  • Pick out
Applying vibration
  • Stimulate the cell
  • Break the cell
Applying an electric field
  • Pull the sample that is charged
  • Characterizing a sample by applying an electric field

Examples of use

  • Move and remove of minute samples
    Sample arrangement, removal of foreign matter, etc.
  • Bio and medical research
    Cells, red blood cells, microorganisms, etc.
  • Physical property research and investigation
    Electric field application, vibration application, apply pressure to the sample, durability testing, etc.
