Bruker announced today at the 2012 Materials Research Society
(MRS) Fall Meeting the release of a new line of IRIS TERS
Probes. By enabling Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS),
the new IRIS TERS probe tips provide users a complete path to
non-destructive, label-free chemical detection at the nanoscale. As
sharp, solid-metal cones, IRIS TERS Probes are
designed to deliver the highest Raman enhancement, which translates
to highest sensitivity and spatial resolution. Together with
Bruker’s Innova-IRIS system, and third-party research Raman
systems, IRIS TERS Probes can create the
highest-performance complete commercial TERS solution.

“It is widely understood in the TERS community that the single
issue preventing further adoption is lack of available
high-performance probes,” said Mark R. Munch, Ph.D., President,
Bruker MAT Group and Bruker Nano Surfaces Division. “By addressing
this key gap, we are making TERS more widely available, addressing
the unmet need for nanochemical identification.”
“With their proven TERS contrast capability, the IRIS TERS
Probes are an expression of our commitment to moving atomic
force microscopy beyond just imaging,” added David V. Rossi,
Executive Vice President and General Manager of Bruker's AFM
Business. “The nanoscale chemical information provided by our
complete TERS solution joins our recent advances in quantitative
nanoscale property mapping with PeakForce QNM®, PeakForce TUNA™,
and PeakForce KPFM™.”
About IRIS TERS Probes
IRIS TERS Probes are fully compatible with the
Innova-IRIS systems. All existing Innova-IRIS systems only require
a new cartridge to start using them immediately, and any existing
Innova® can be upgraded to an Innova-IRIS AFM-Raman system.
Utilized on the Innova-IRIS, the IRIS TERS Probes enable
TERS on opaque samples using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM)
feedback. Being made of solid gold, the IRIS TERS Probes are
optimized for highest TERS enhancement at red and near-infrared
Raman excitation wavelengths. They retain their high enhancement
over a long shelf life, thus guaranteeing highest TERS sensitivity
and spatial resolution. Together with the Innova-IRIS system, the
IRIS TERS Probes provide a high-performance commercial TERS
solution, removing the need for TERS researchers to be their own
TERS tip fabrication experts.
