About NanoTechnology Solutions

NanoTechnology Solutions is an Adelaide-based supplier of scientific instruments, accessories and consumables for research and industrial laboratories across Australia, New Zealand and neighbouring Pacific island nations, with local sales, installation, training and support. Product lines include benchtop and floor-standing scanning electron microscopes, atomic force microscopes, stylus and optical surface profilers, nanoindenters, surface tensiometers and contact angle analysers, plasma cleaners, electrospinning systems, ultrasonic spray coaters, vibration-isolation optical tables, in-situ testing stages and sample-preparation equipment.

Instruments and expertise

We specialise in equipment for high-resolution and advanced microscopy. Our team has extensive practical experience in specimen preparation and imaging with transmission and scanning electron microscopy (TEM and SEM), optical microscopy, and scanning probe and atomic force microscopy (SPM and AFM). Alongside microscopy we supply surface profilers, nanoindenters and in-situ testing stages, plasma cleaners, contact angle analysers and tensiometers, electrospinning and ultrasonic coating systems, and vibration isolation.

Working on your samples

We work with researchers on challenging samples to find the right tools for their research problems. All equipment training is carried out on your own samples, so you get the best return on your investment, and we provide installation, service and sound technical advice on sample preparation, imaging and high-end microscopy.
