Their product portfolio includes magnetron sputtering, e-beam evaporation, and nanoparticle deposition systems, making them ideal for cross-functional shared labs. Additionally, they provide key deposition components, such as rf atom sources, nanoparticle sources, quadrupole mass spectrometers, triple target sputter sources, mini ebeam evaporators, and hybrid mbe sources. Nikalyte serves industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, photonics, and material science.

Allectra is a trusted supplier of high-performance components for scientific research and industrial applications. They specialise in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) connectivity components and offer a comprehensive range of products, including feedthroughs, vacuum flanges, motion control systems, coaxial cables, kapton cables, pressure burst discs, and much more. Serving industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, material science, and surface science, Allectra can also configure and deliver bespoke components quickly. Alba Scientific works with Allectra throughout the Benelux
NuNano are based in Bristol, UK, with roots in the Mervyn Miles AFM group. They specialise in highly reproducible AFM probes for topography, electrical, and critical dimension measurements. Their innovative production process includes ai-supported, SEM-led quality control, assuring the highest reproducibility of force constant and resonance frequency, significantly reducing operator headaches. Fast and competent support, along with full control of the production process, doesn’t just guarantee quality, but also means they are available to discuss special requests.

AFM Workshop has atomic force microscopy (AFM) pedigree that goes all the way back to the West Coast USA beginnings. Taking a different approach, they strip out the fuss and offer a range of AFM based on common building blocks, helping keep costs down and making AFM accessible to all. Focusing on AFM for teaching, training, and innovation, their modular approach is ideal for educational institutes, instrument innovators, and small and medium enterprises in need of nanoscale characterisation. Their pedigree is backed up by well over 500 user publications!

ConScience are a spin-off of Chalmers University and experts in nanofabrication, microfabrication, and thin film technologies. Building on this expertise, we are pleased to partner with them on their superconducting qubits, off-the-shelf qubits ideally suited to testing, teaching, and training. ConScience also supplies our SKPM test structures and are active in microfluidics, with their knowledge and flexibility dovetailing perfectly with our understanding of the challenges inherent in designing experiments in physics research. The QiB series of benchmarked superconducting qubits are an excellent example of finding an innovative solution for your research challenge.

Qnami, one of the leaders in scanning NV magnetometry, started their quantum foundry to apply the expertise and deep knowledge gained through work in the universities of Harvard, Basel, Ulm, and Stuttgart, to manufacture reproducible and high-performance cutting-edge single NV pillars for scanning and pillar arrays for wide-field, calibration, and multiplexing. The quantum foundry brings together a unique combination of NV and diamond-engineering expertise, allowing them to offer standard engineered single NV arrays and back this up with expert support for custom solutions.
