PELCO AFM gold standard kit

Characterised colloidal gold particles for:

  • Characterisation of scanning tip geometry
  • Reliable calibration of the vertical scale of piezoelectric response
  • Characterising vertical dimensions of coadsorbed biomolecules

Three sizes of colloidal gold particles are available in a convenient kit form. The kit contains 8 numbered 15mm AFM discs with mica attached for calibration and tip characterisation. Remaining colloidal gold can be used for coadsorption with biomolecules or other samples.
