Recent discovery allows researchers to transform the structure of nanomaterial
 
For any field to make the progress a society, used to a continuous influx of advancements and improvements, expect from them, companies who provide the advanced apparatus needed for lab work must deliver constant enhancements of their revolutionary equipment. One such company which remains at the edge of these kinds of development is the global leader in microscopy, Park Systems.

“We are always proud of moments when the immense amount of effort our team puts into achieving precision and accuracy in all our equipment delivers a breakthrough in any field,” says Keibock Lee, president to Park Systems.

Fortunately, these proud moments happen quite often as the company is involved in supplying so many different industries and fields of research. Recently, one of these moments of outstanding research took place at Emory University. With the aid of ion conductance microscopy, researchers under the guidance of Vincent Conticello, a professor in biomolecular chemistry at Emory developed a nanomaterial which can change shape. Although the team claims that the discovery was due to a combination of luck and planned research, it would have been impossible to achieve without the revolutionary equipment allowing them to explore the attributes of materials on a nano level.

The material which the team of scientists developed consists of a collagen base and simply by manipulating the environment the material is in, they can influence it to change from sheets to tubes. It is however a discovery which was only possible with the aid of advanced equipment such as their ion conductive microscope, allowing them observe the material and how it behaves on a nano level.

Collagen is present in quite high levels in the human body. It is the structural protein in tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bones and even skin. Thus, the advancement in research and the ability to create a nanomaterial from the same base substance can hold a range of benefits for medical research.

“While these kinds of research findings bring a lot of excitement, the medical research field is only a small segment in the market we provide with our premium equipment. Currently, the field of ion conductance microscopy is dominated by industries in material development,” Lee further expands.
Park Systems has offices in many major cities globally. Research on growth in the field of nano technology identified the US market to hold the biggest promise of increased investment. Therefore, you can expect to find Park Systems present with their outstanding support and service in both California and New York.
