CNProbes Partners with MEMS Foundry

CNProbes, an emerging nanotech solutions provider, has executed an agreement with MEMS Foundry, a contract manufacturer. This agreement puts CNProbes closer to ramping up full-scale production and launch of CNProbes’ flagship product, a carbon nanotube probe tip for use in the atomic force microscope (AFM). The key business challenge to the commercialization of carbon nanotube probe tips has been scalable production. CNProbes is the first manufacturer in the world to be able to scalably reproduce these tiny probes. This MEMS Foundry partnership provides CNProbes enough production capacity to meet all current demand for AFM tips as well as forecasted demand.
