The Nano Indenter® G200 system is an accurate, flexible, user-friendly instrument for nanoscale mechanical testing. The G200 measures Young’s modulus and hardness, including measurement of deformation over six orders of magnitude, from nanometers to millimeters. The nanoindenter system can also measure the complex modulus of polymers, gels and biological tissue as well as the creep response (strain rate sensitivity) of thin metallic films. Modular options can accommodate a variety of applications: frequency-specific testing, quantitative scratch and wear testing, integrated probe-based imaging, high-temperature nanoindentation testing, expanded load capacity up to 10N and custom test protocols.
All nanoindentation measurements rely on the precision of the applied load and the accuracy of the displacement data. The Nano Indenter G200 is powered by electromagnetic transducers to ensure precise measurements. The instrument’s unique design avoids lateral displacement artifacts.
