Why buy from ASM?

Since 1990, we have been providing skilled analytical services, specializing in Atomic Force Microscopy and related techniques.  We have made significant scientific contributions in AFM. Since 1993, we have been buying, refurbishing and selling  second-hand NanoScope AFM’s and related equipment for customers around the world.  All the equipment we sell is tested and repaired as needed to meet our professional standards.  We provide skilled technical support to our customers, covering both instrument operation and application advice.

What customers say about our used equipment:

"We bought a Dimension AFM from you a few years ago.  Our/your afm is running like a dream.  We progressed to tapping mode imaging and force work in liquid and have another few phd's worth of questions to now answer."
-Dr. Ian Larson, Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Monash University, Australia.

"I thought the AFM purchased by Molecular Reflections was an excellent
instrument. No surprises. I also think that you and your colleagues wanted
us to succeed, not only in the getting the instrument functioning but beyond, 
in terms of guidance for techniques and such. I would highly recommend 
Advanced Surface Microscopy as a source for renewed equipment."
- Dr. Boyce Collins, USA.

"I always thought it was a great idea to have a company that sells
used SPM equipment. Advanced Surface Microscopy provides an
excellent service to the SPM community with its products."
Prof. Ricardo Garcia, CSIC-Madrid Microelectronics Institute, Spain.
