The World Leader in Developing Nanomechanical Testing Instruments

Hysitron is proud to be the world leader in nanomechanical testing and has brought cutting edge technology to the scientific community since 1992. As the pioneers in nanoindentation and nanomechanical property measurement, Hysitron has helped develop the world of nanotechnology to where it is today by designing and producing the most advanced instrumentation available.

Instruments such as the TI Series and the TS Series offer researchers and manufacturers the ability to take accurate nanoscale measurements of mechanical properties such as hardness, elastic modulus, friction, wear resistance, and adhesive strength. Hysitron instruments enable a material evaluation scale from ultra-thin films to bulk materials. They also offer the unique ability to perform quantitative nanoindentation and nanoscratch testing independently or with in-situ scanning probe microscopy imaging.

If you are new to Hysitron or to the nanomechanical testing and nanoindentation frontier, take a few minutes to learn some background information on what makes us the leaders in our field, and a respected partner to our worldwide client base.

We at Hysitron are proud to collaborate with academics and researchers worldwide and currently have nanoindenter systems on six continents as well as hundreds of research papers in the fields of nanoindentation, nanomechanical testing and nanotechnology.
