Background Experiments involving cDNA/PCR often use aminosilane treated glass as a substrate. These experiments often produce results that are not as expected. Our analysis shows that the issue may lie very early on in the process, from the preparation of the glass itself. Instead of a substrate comprised of glass with an even coat of ..read more

This year marks the 10-year anniversary of Molecular Vista. We started with a vision to make optical AFM experiments easy and more powerful. In our last decade we have pioneered the world’s most capable nano-ir spectroscopy technique, PiF-IR. We also created the easiest and highest-resolution nanoscale chemical mapping technique, PiFM. To mark this milestone, we are rebuilding our brand to accurately represent both our achievements and our vision for the next decade. We are still the agile and independent company that you have known and worked with. We are still a science-focused company that ..read more
