Zyvex Instruments

Zyvex Instruments was a pioneering nanotechnology company that specialized in the development of nanomanipulation and nano-probing systems. Founded as a division of Zyvex Corporation, the company provided essential tools for researchers to manipulate and characterize materials at the nanoscale within scanning electron microscopes (SEMs). Its flagship products, such as the S100 nanomanipulator, were utilized across semiconductor failure analysis, materials science, and life sciences for applications like cell manipulation and biomaterial testing. In 2007, the company was acquired by DCG Systems to bolster its portfolio of electrical characterization solutions. Following subsequent acquisitions, the technology is now integrated into the analytical instrumentation offerings of Thermo Fisher Scientific. The company is recognized for being the first to commercialize nanomanipulation systems for the global research market.
