An AFM ADD-ON for precision single-cell manipulation
The FluidFM ADD-ON greatly boosts the performance and application range of atomic force microscopes (AFMs) beyond imaging and force spectroscopy. Take advantage of 10x faster single cell force spectroscopy, create patterns by nanoprinting at sub-micrometer resolution, inject liquids into cells or extract material from them. All possible now with your Bruker and Nanosurf AFM thanks to our FluidFM ADD-ON.
Versatile
Nano-injection into the nucleus for single-cell transfection.

FluidFM® ADD‑ON: How it works
FluidFM ADD-ON system parts
- Custom FluidFM Probe holder assuring safe, tight, and reliable mounting of FluidFM Probes.
- FluidFM microfluidics control system to aspirate or release liquids through the FluidFM Probe.
- Barcode reader to access all relevant probe characteristics, most importantly a unique SEM image of every probe.
- A dedicated fluorescence camera with a digital cantilever filling assistant.
- FluidFM CORA software, which gives convenient access and control to all components.
Optimized FluidFM Probes
Our hollow FluidFM Probes exist in a variety of tip shapes, aperture sizes and mechanical specifications, specifically designed to enable a variety of applications – from mechanobiology, and neuroscience to nanoprinting. The adapter of our FluidFM Probes is tailored to the geometrical and physical requirements of the specific AFM.
