The inability to isolate pathogens directly from blood has been for many years the key issue hindering ear- ly, appropriate treatment of bloodstream infections - to prevent sepsis - and nanoMR has solved this problem. The company’s immunomagnetic techno- logy rapidly isolates pathogens directly from blood in under 30 minutes, enabling identification of infec- tious organisms using existing molecular diagnostic devices in under two hours. The current time-frame, based on blood culture, takes at least 48 hours.

anonics Imaging recently has supplied two MultiView 4000™ MultiProbe SPM-NSOM
systems to the University of Southampton for diverse applications. One system focuses on the exploration and understanding of living cells while the other is targeted to research optoelectronic devices.
Professor Pavlos Lagoudakis of School of Physics and Astronomy acquired the Hydra™ Multiprobe Bio- AFM. The Hydra™ was picked for its ultra-sensitive revolutionary high Q factor tuning fork feedback in physiological media. The Hydra™ is ideal for imaging ultrasoft biological material from cells to tissue to bio- molecules even with probes such as those for near- field optical microscopy that have been prevented for use in biology due to high force constants. This extends to other categories of normal force sensing probes such as those for thermal conductivity or scanning ion conductance microscopy, a special in-
terest of the Lagoudakis group. The Hydra™ with its non-optically interfering tuning fork feedback allows for full integration with all forms of far-field optical imaging. This includes upright and dual 4 Pi non-li- near optical microcopies even with water immersion objectives as seen above.
The second simultaneous installation took place at the Optoelectronics Research Center of Professor Dan Hewak where the Optometronic 4000™ Multi Probe NSOM System will be used for the exploration of OptoElectronic devices. This one of a kind four probe system provides an arsenal of tools for resear- ching with multiple probes injection and diffusion of heat, injection and collection of light, multiprobe current flow, etc.
Furthermore, Nanonics Imaging, Ltd. is pleased to welcome NANOSENSORS™ Akiyama-Probe (A- Probe) to its family of tuning-fork based probes. Akiyama-Probe is based on a quartz tuning fork com- bined with a micromachined cantilever. The great advantage of this novel probe is that one can benefit from both the tuning fork’s extremely stable oscil- lation and the silicon cantilever’s reasonable spring constant with one probe. Akiyama-Probe is equip- ped with a special version of the NANOSENSORS™ AdvancedTEC, a high-end sharp silicon tip and has an excellent imaging capability on various samples with different properties, which is as high as that of a conventional optical lever system.
