Agilent Receives Prestigious R&D 100 Award for Technical Innovation PicoTRECT Opens New Avenues of Research for Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) Recognized as One of the 100 Most Technologically Significant Products of the Year 
Agilent is an R&D 100 Awards winner for its new PicoTREC. The awards are sponsored by R&D Magazine and recognize the top 100 products introduced into the marketplace during the year. PicoTREC is the only commercially available instrument to add real-time, simultaneous Topography and RECognition imaging capability to the atomic force microscope (AFM). A breakthrough tool for AFM, PicoTREC allows researchers to pursue new avenues of discovery in all areas of nanotechnology and nanoscience. 

PicoTREC, used together with Agilent's 5 series® SPM (Scanning Probe Microscope) and MAC Mode®, represents a new product category for AFM. PicoTREC improves the speed, sensitivity, and accuracy of recognition and adhesion studies at the molecular level. Therefore, it can be used to greatly accelerate existing research and to perform experiments that were not possible before. It is a label-less detection methodology so sensitive samples are not changed by the introduction of radioactive, fluorescent, and other markers. Furthermore, single molecule sensitivity is not only possible, with PicoTREC it is routine. 

PicoTREC creates new possibilities for using AFM in life science, materials science, electrochemistry and other fields. For example, PicoTREC offers researchers in cell biology, nanobiotechnology and pharmacology the ability to explore dynamic properties of molecular binding events. It enables studies on a host of ligand-receptor interactions including membranes, cells, antibody-antigen, drug-receptor, DNA-protein, DNA-DNA, and smart materials. In addition, for scientists studying the characteristics of data storage media including CD's, DVD's and hard drives, or sensors, polymers and other materials, PicoTREC provides a better understanding of the molecular level structures and interactions that influence their behaviors.

主要特點：
安捷倫的PicoTREC分子識別功能能應用到我們每個AFM型號中，它通過探測兩種物質的分子鍵是否發(fā)生相互結合，來快速識別感興趣的官能團，輕松取代其它供貨商的那些雖可獲得同樣結果，但卻既耗時又操作復雜，且只能借助力譜測量等分析的功能塊。生物活體成像模式與PicoTREC結合使用，通過分析分子鍵和表面的吸附力，你可研究生物系統(tǒng)的動態(tài)性質，包括抗體—抗原、配體—受體、藥物－受體、DNA—蛋白質、DNA—DNA等等。
