The NanoRacer opens a world of new and exciting possibilities for Life Science applications, enabling researchers to gain an in-depth understanding of complex biological systems and molecular mechanisms, in a way not possible until now:
  • Single molecule binding behavior
  • Dynamics in two-dimensional protein assemblies
  • Enzyme activity monitoring
  • Assembly and disassembly processes of protein structures
  • DNA origami assembly
  • Protein/protein interactions
  • Motor protein and membrane trafficking dynamics
  • Virus and bacteria morphology and dynamics

Outstanding resolution, renowned stability, remarkable accuracy

Atomic resolution of calcite crystal step edge, imaged in fluid, 3D topography 15 × 9 nm² [1], zoom 4 × 4 nm² [2]

Imaging atomic defects and sub-molecular resolution are now routine. The NanoRacer has the lowest noise levels of any commercial AFM system available, thanks to high precision electronics and enhanced accuracy positioning sensors in each axis.

The NanoRacer reflects the pioneering work of Bruker’s BioAFM team in combining technological advances with proven stability, sensitivity, and ease of use.

  • Small cantilevers and lowest forces for minimum sample damage
  • Infrared laser photothermal excitation option, for clean cantilever drive, easy setup and minimized perturbance of delicate samples
  • Advanced algorithms for scanner control and feedback
  • Minimized force drift for long-term experiments
  • Highest bandwidth digital electronics, with lowest noise, for maximum performance
  • Cutting-edge, high-speed power amplifier for perfect scanner drive
  • Closed-loop scanning on all axes with minimal noise levels for highest accuracy
