Irish company receives 750,000 Euros funding for atomic force microscope probes
Adama Innovations Ltd, an early stage company focused on deploying nanotechnology to common manufacturing processes, has secured €750,000 in seed-funding. The investment will enable Adama to scale up production of their first product, a nano-scale probe fabricated from diamond, used in atomic force microscopy (AFM).
Owing to their fabrication in solid diamond, Adama’s industry leading probes hold clear advantages for many applications, uniquely combining the highest levels of performance and durability. They will be instrumental in solving current and future challenges in high-tech manufacturing allowing industry to understand better the surfaces of their materials at the nanoscale, to improve their products and prevent defects.
The investment syndicate included Enterprise Ireland, NDRC VentureLab and Irrus Investments.
About
Adama Innovations have a disruptive technology for advanced manufacturing.
The company have developed a simple process for creating patterns, on a scale invisible to the human eye, on ultra-hard materials.
The micro patterns can be applied to injection molds and forming dies used for the fabrication of medical devices, improving their capability and reducing the cost of manufacture. Other applications include labelling and anti-counterfeiting technology.
The company’s first product is a nano-scale probe fabricated in diamond, for metrology applications in high-tech manufacturing.
The company is a spin-out from CRANN, the flagship nanotechnology institute in
Trinity College Dublin.
