"Express Test methods not only
offer researchers working in scientific and industrial settings unprecedented
speed, but also remarkable versatility and ease of use," said Jeff Jones,
general manager for Agilent's nano measurement organization in Chandler, Ariz.
"Express Test is ideal for a host of diverse applications involving bulk
materials, composites, thin films and low-k materials. Agilent's innovative
Express Test option further strengthens the reputation of the Nano Indenter
G200 as the world's most accurate, flexible, and user-friendly instrument for
nanoscale mechanical testing."
Express Test allows the Nano Indenter
G200 to be operated in controlled-force or controlled-displacement mode.
Testing is simple, just point and shoot. Area-function calibration can be
performed in minutes, Young's modulus and hardness can be rapidly evaluated
with robust statistics, and quantitative maps of mechanical properties can be
generated in record time. Thermal drift is negligible thanks to the option's
unprecedented speed.
In order to achieve these revolutionary
measurements, the Nano Indenter G200 must be configured with an Agilent Dynamic
Contact Module II indentation head, Agilent's NanoVision stage option, the new
Express Test option, and Agilent NanoSuite Professional software. Each system
element has been optimized to facilitate ultrafast performance.
