About Us

Quantum Design has been active in Latin American since 1998. In 2010 the Latin America office was opened in Brazil to meet the needs of the sizable and growing research base using Quantum Design Equipment.

The office is fully operational where new features are continually being added to facilitate activities for researchers.

We are fortunate to be able to represent a very good line of other scientific instrumentation companies to service Latin America.

• Visualising sigma orbitals opens path to new understanding of surface chemistry A technique developed for imaging π orbitals during surface chemical reactions – photoemission orbital tomography – can also image σ orbitals as well. The researchers, who tested their discovery by answering a hitherto open question about the product of a reaction, believe the method could unravel chemical mechanisms in fields such as catalysis.

• An upgrade for magnetic resonance methods with a 1,000-fold amplifier Researchers determine the structure and dynamics of proteins using NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy. Until now, however, much higher concentrations were necessary for in-vitro measurements of the biomolecules in solution than found in our body's cells. An NMR method enhanced by a very powerful amplifier, in combination with molecular dynamics simulation, now enables their detection and accurate characterization at physiological concentrations. This is reported by Dennis Kurzbach chemist at the University of Vienna and his colleagues in the journal Science Advances. The team demonstrated their new method with the example of a protein that influences cell proliferation and thus also potential tumor growth. Read More
• The structure of the smallest semiconductor elucidated A semiconductor is a material whose conductivity lies somewhere between that of a conductor and an insulator. This property allows semiconductors to serve as the base material for modern electronics and transistors. It is no understatement that the technological progress in the latter part of the 20th century was largely spearheaded by the semiconductor industry. Read More
