WATERLOO, CANADA – ICSPI, a manufacturer of atomic force microscope (AFM) instruments headquartered in Waterloo, Canada, has entered an exclusive partnership with Physical Electronics GmbH (PHI), an analytical instrumentation and services supplier headquartered in Munich, Germany.  PHI will provide marketing, sales, and after-sales services support in markets across Germany and Switzerland for ICSPI’s AFM instruments.

ICSPI is on a mission to bring robust, easy-to-use, nanoscale metrology everywhere. Pushing the boundaries of what is possible in nanoscale metrology with the world’s first benchtop AFM-on-a-Chip instrument, the nGauge provides 3D images with sub-nanometer resolution in a fraction of the time traditional AFM instruments require. The nGauge enables researchers and engineers to quickly get the data they need in their own lab for research, process optimization and quality control.

“PHI provides regional coverage and in-depth knowledge of the analytic equipment market.  We are convinced PHI is the right partner to help us accelerate our growth in the German and Swiss markets,” said Jim Harp, Vice President Business Development, ICSPI.

Thomas Gross, Managing Director, PHI, commented: “The partnership with ICSPI helps strengthen our position in the scientific equipment market and will expand our product portfolio to the individual lab and researcher with fast, easy to use AFM instrumentation.”
